CSAC has joined with 33 other California Cities and Counties urging the United States Supreme Court review a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals opinion holding that enforcing anti-camping ordinances violates the Eighth Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment when there is not alternative shelter space available.  CSAC’s brief asks the Court to clarify the contours of the opinion, and notes how the broad restriction adopted by the Ninth Circuit makes it more difficult to provide services to the homeless population in California.  The brief was drafted by Teresa Stricker and Ryan McGinley-Stempel at the Renne Public Law Group in San Francisco.
