Dear Stephanie,
We at The Poverello Center are deeply saddened and disappointed by the Supreme Court's ruling on Johnson v. Grants Pass, which overturned crucial constitutional protections for people experiencing houselessness.
Our mission has always been to provide food, shelter, help, and hope to all who ask. This ruling places additional barriers in the path of those who are already struggling to survive. It is a stark reminder of the urgent need for compassionate, humane solutions to homelessness, rather than punitive measures that further marginalize our neighbors.
At the Poverello Center, we believe that everyone deserves a safe place to call home. This decision highlights the critical importance of our work and reinforces our commitment to advocating for the rights and dignity of all individuals, regardless of their housing status. We will continue to support those experiencing houselessness and fight for policies that promote justice, equity, and the well-being of our entire community.
In these challenging times, we call on our supporters, community members, and policymakers to stand with us in advocating for a compassionate approach to homelessness . Together, we can work towards a future where no one is forced to live on the streets and where everyone has access to safe and stable housing.
Sincerely,
|
