The Cicero Institute approach to homelessness ignores decades of research showing that criminalization is expensive, counterproductive, and deadly. In none of the 100 U.S. cities that criminalized homelessness did homelessness actually decrease. None. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

Last week, ICE kidnapped a man outside a homeless shelter. This is all in coordination with Trump's plan to round up homeless people and throw them into detention camps. Arresting people, regardless of where they are from, only makes homelessness worse. buff.ly/vPCzVtZ

“Why would we let out-of-state lobbyists tell us how to do things here in Indiana?” Billionaires are trying to make homelessness a crime in Indiana, despite the fact that 72% of Americans know homelessness can’t be solved with arrests and tickets. indystar.com/story/opinion/…
