If you live in one of America’s cities, you probably see homeless people all the time.
That’s what Mark Horvath discovered firsthand in 1995, when he lost his job and wound up homeless for eight years.
On April 22, the Supreme Court is set to hear the case of Johnson v. Grants Pass, the most significant case in decades about homeless people’s rights.
The case will determine whether cities can arrest or fine the homeless — even if there’s no other shelter.
As the homeless plaintiffs wrote, this would be “punishing the city’s involuntarily homeless residents for their existence.”
