## Resource

Louisiana just enacted the Streets to Success Act, a controversial new law that bans sleeping or camping in public without permission—aimed at funneling homeless individuals into specialized courts offering housing, addiction, and mental health support. While the law permits designated camping zones starting January 1st under strict conditions, critics argue it criminalizes homelessness rather than addressing root causes like affordable housing and treatment access. Supporters say it’s about incentivizing help, but opponents warn it won’t work without expanding resources. This move follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that cleared the way for cities to penalize outdoor sleeping, sparking national debate over how best to tackle homelessness.
