A recent Supreme Court ruling has granted local officials the authority to arrest homeless individuals found sleeping in public spaces.

According to Security.com, the number of homeless Americans has risen to over half a million and shows no signs of slowing down.

With homelessness growing nationwide, what will be the impact of this decision?

Will it effectively reduce homelessness by directing unhoused individuals to local resources?

Or does it represent a harsh and unusual punishment that criminalizes homelessness?

In this episode of CareTalk: Healthcare. Unfiltered., hosts David E. Williams and John Driscoll explore the implications of this landmark ruling and its far-reaching effects on affected individuals and communities nationwide.
