Content: Examples include changing sprinkler schedules to prevent sleeping in public parks, removing benches, creating permits that require the payment of a fee in order to panhandle, creating designated panhandling areas, etc. Because none of these laws or activities specifically target a group other than homeless people, they often remain enforceable. What You Can Do
If you are concerned about the plight of the homeless in America, you can take action. Contributing to organizations that support helping the homeless is an excellent option. You can also become involved in political organizations that seek to change laws affecting the homeless. Of course, if you are homeless or know someone who is, you may also need to take legal action to protect yourself or that person from the legal consequences of being homeless. To find an attorney in your area, visit HG.org and use the attorney search feature. You may also visit your local bar association and ask for a list of attorneys that provide pro bono services or if there are any legal aid organizations that could assist you free of charge or at a significantly reduced fee.
