Cities can choose to criminalize homelessness....or they can respond to the homelessness crisis with real solutions.
Sweeps & bans don't work. Decades of evidence have taught us that affordable housing, wraparound support, mental health care, job training, tenant protections, & rent assistance do.

7 years ago, Greg entered the CSS program. Now, he’s been in his own apartment for 2 years, works at UofO, and is celebrating 7 years of sobriety.
“CSS changed my life. They gave me time to get back on my feet, get my priorities in place, and hook me up with Section 8. CSS gives absolute hope.”

Some Eugene businesses play 'Baby Shark' on repeat to deter unhoused individuals from camping nearby.
But there are more humane and effective approaches, such as advocating for affordable housing and working with local shelters.
