After the Grants Pass ruling freed cities to penalize people sleeping in public, California Gov. Gavin Newsom told the state’s cities and towns to clear homeless encampments or lose funding.

In Grants Pass itself, the Oregon city of 40,000 whose policy won the high court’s approval last summer, there is one city-sanctioned lot where homeless residents can sleep, though the city closes it at 7 every morning.

“I’m deeply concerned that alignment is fracturing. Grants Pass is a symbol of that, and an accelerant. … What you’re seeing is that mayors and others are losing patience and looking for solutions that are faster, like temporary housing and tiny homes, but also camping bans and criminalization, even if they are not solutions but actually make the problem worse.”

The Supreme Court ruling in Grants Pass has paved the way for fines and jail time for people who sleep on the street.

The court’s conservative bloc ruled in favor of the city of Grants Pass, Ore., in June, overturning a key lower court ruling on homelessness and clearing the way for local governments to crack down on sleeping in public spaces regardless of the availability of housing or shelter.
