Housing Not Handcuffs
Create a pageEnd the Criminalization of Homelessness
At this moment, the youth homelessness crisis in America is being highlighted via a landmark Supreme Court case: Johnson v. Grants Pass will decide if laws punishing homeless individuals for sleeping outdoors with basic protections such as a pillow or blanket, when no safe and accessible shelter options are available, can stand.
Covenant House is committed to helping youth break the cycle of homelessness. Changing policy is crucial to our mission, and criminalizing young people facing homelessness is not a solution to the ongoing youth homelessness crisis.
On June 1st, we will come together and raise funds and awareness for young people overcoming homelessness. Will you join us?
