Boise, Idaho, has dedicated $1.3 million dollars to preventing homelessness as part of a settlement that ruled the city cannot criminalize sleeping outside if homeless shelters are full. Boise will invest in homeless shelters, train police on how to engage with people experiencing homelessness, and amend ordinances to extend protections and prevent discrimination in shelters. “The landmark Martin v. Boise case is a win for all residents of Boise, housed and unhoused alike, and serves as a national model for how other communities should be implementing the decision,” stated Eric Tars, legal director at the National Homelessness Law Center.
