DENVER — Denver's unhoused population is raising concerns after a United States Supreme Court ruled cities can enforce bans against the unhoused sleeping in public places.
"That's really going to hurt me," said Edwards."Every day, if I go to sleep, it seems like I lose everything I have.” "Choosing to side with Grants Pass really dehumanizes the unhoused community," said Ana-Lilith Miller, with Housekeys Action Network Denver. The nonprofit argued that the decision could lead to more encampment sweeps in the Denver metro area.
Coffman said the Supreme Court's ruling will allow them proceed with the new law at the end of summer. When asked about whether or not the decision effectively,"criminalizes homelessness" Coffman agreed, but argued that it was necessary for the public good.
