The effort comes following a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/circuit-court-ruling-protects-homeless-sleeping-public\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ruling against the City of Boise by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The appellate court said that local governments cannot criminalize sleeping on sidewalks, in parks or other public places if there are no places for homeless people to go.&nbsp;The 9th Circuit\u2019s jurisdiction includes Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2019-08-22\/homeless-sidewalk-sleeping-ban-restrictions-boise-case-shelter\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introduced by Los Angeles City Councilman Mitch O\u2019Farrell, the measure would bar people from sleeping within 500 feet of schools, parks or daycare centers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. People also cannot sleep on sidewalks near homeless shelters or other similar facilities that serve homeless people. In addition, people cannot sleep near bike paths, in tunnels or on bridges designated as school routes. Public areas with signs barring trespassing or setting closing times for safety or maintenance purposes are also off limits. Finally, no sleeping will be allowed on the sidewalks near large public venues, like sports arenas and convention centers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los Angeles used to have a citywide ban on sleeping in public places. Based on a court ruling in 2006, the city had to allow people to sleep on sidewalks between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. This requirement would be in effect until an additional 1,250 supportive housing units are built. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has asserted that enough new housing has been built and that the city can begin enforcement of the sidewalk sleeping ban again. However,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/local\/lanow\/la-me-ln-sidewalk-sleeping-20180622-story.html?_amp=true\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> police have generally not enforced the sidewalk sleeping ban except during the day<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and in cases where doorways and driveways have been blocked.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2776\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2776\" style=\"width: 249px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2776\" src=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/seal-of-los-angeles.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"249\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/seal-of-los-angeles.png 1200w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/seal-of-los-angeles-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/seal-of-los-angeles-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/seal-of-los-angeles-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/seal-of-los-angeles-1024x1024.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2776\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The city measure would bar people from sleeping within 500 feet of schools, parks or daycare centers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Boise case, the 9th Circuit said that jailing or fining homeless people violates the Constitution\u2019s 8th Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. The 9th Circuit said that, \u201cas long as there is no option of sleeping indoors, the government cannot criminalize indigent, homeless people from sleeping outdoors, on public property, on the false pretense that they had a choice in the matter.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the 9th Circuit also qualified its decision, saying, \u201ceven when shelter is unavailable, an ordinance prohibiting sitting, lying, or sleeping outside at particular times or in particular locations might well be constitutionally permissable.\u201d This means, for example, that local governments could ban outdoor sleeping in cases where public safety may be an issue. Senior assistant city attorney Valerie Flores noted this when she told the City Council that their measure is defensible. She said that the current laws, \u201cwould benefit from modernization, clarification, and a better balance between the competing needs of persons using the public right-of-way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just a month ago, the Los Angeles City Council extended severe restrictions on where people can sleep in their vehicles. The restrictions are similar to those now being considered for those sleeping on sidewalks. It bars sleeping in parked cars in residential areas or near schools, parks and daycare centers. The City Council agreed to allow \u201csafe parking\u201d areas as a compromise. These are lots where homeless people can park safely and have access to restrooms. The lots are also served by outreach workers who help connect people with social services.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2777\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2777\" style=\"width: 249px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2777\" src=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/down-and-out-477546_1920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"249\" height=\"249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/down-and-out-477546_1920.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/down-and-out-477546_1920-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/down-and-out-477546_1920-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/down-and-out-477546_1920-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/affordablehousingonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/down-and-out-477546_1920-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2777\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Los Angeles City Council extended severe restrictions on where people can sleep in their vehicles, including parks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advocates for homeless people have pointed out that the city\u2019s efforts lag far behind the scale of the need. There are currently 180 safe parking spaces, and it is estimated there will be 450 spaces by next year. This is a drop in the bucket compared with the need. About 9,500 Los Angeles residents are currently sleeping in about 5,700 vehicles around the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The restrictions on sleeping in cars do not apply to commercial and industrial areas of Los Angeles. Nonetheless, new parking restrictions are popping up in these areas as well. Overnight parking bans have been instituted on hundreds of blocks throughout the city, including many in commercial and industrial zones. These local overnight bans are granted by the City Council at the request of individual council members. Some of these are for good reasons, such as limiting large trucks from parking in narrow streets and alleys. Most, though, are aimed at restricting access to homeless people looking for a place to sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the restrictions on sleeping in public get passed by the City Council, there will be few places in Los Angeles where homeless people can sleep without fear of arrest. It also sets a troubling precedent for other cities to try and work around the 9th Circuit\u2019s ruling against criminalizing homelessness. Advocates for homeless people in Los Angeles will surely challenge the measure in court if it is enacted by the City Council.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The City of Boise recently requested that the U.S. Supreme Court review the ruling against bans on sleeping in public. If the Supreme Court rules for Boise, then communities across the country can keep their bans on public sleeping. However, the Supreme Court could uphold the 9th Circuit\u2019s ruling that arresting homeless people for sleeping on sidewalks is cruel and unusual punishment. If that happens, all communities across the country, not just those in western states, will have to suspend enforcement of public sleeping bans.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles City Council is considering major restrictions on where homeless people can sleep.
