Can Homelessness Be Illegal?

Can Homelessness Be Illegal?

Today we explore the pressing legal and societal issues shaping our world today.

This case has sparked a nationwide debate on the intersection of human rights, public policy, and social justice. We'll discuss the legal arguments, the potential implications for cities across the country, and how this decision might impact the most vulnerable in our society, but more importantly, we will look at the theological implications.

So, grab a seat and join us as we navigate the complexities of this landmark case.
