![The Supreme Court is wrestling with major questions about the growing issue of homelessness as it considers whether cities can ban people from sleeping outside when shelter space is lacking. Monday's case is considered the most significant on homelessness to come before the high court in decades. In California and other Western states, courts have ruled it’s unconstitutional to fine and arrest people sleeping in homeless encampments if shelter space is lacking. Officials contend that makes it difficult to manage encampments. The case comes from Grants Pass, Oregon, which started fining people $295 for sleeping outside. Advocates argue punishing people who need a place to sleep will make the crisis worse.]( "The Supreme Court is wrestling with major questions about the growing issue of homelessness as it considers whether cities can ban people from sleeping outside when shelter space is lacking.
