Statement from the Norristown Hospitality Center Regarding the Johnson vs. Grants Pass Supreme Court Ruling

The Norristown Hospitality Center is deeply saddened by the recent Supreme Court decision in Johnson vs. Grants Pass. This ruling effectively criminalizes homelessness, further marginalizing a vulnerable population already struggling to survive.

At the Norristown Hospitality Center, we see the devastating impact of homelessness every day. People experiencing homelessness face a multitude of challenges, including lack of access to shelter, food, and healthcare. The Johnson vs. Grants Pass decision only exacerbates these problems by making it even more difficult for people to find safe places to sleep.

We urge our community leaders and residents of Norristown to stand with us in opposing this decision. We need to work together to create solutions that address the root causes of homelessness, such as lack of affordable housing, mental health care, and addiction treatment services, not criminalize those who are struggling.

Together, let us work to build a more just and compassionate community for all.

Sincerely,
The Norristown Hospitality Center
