News

Waypoint Launches a First-in-the-Nation Program to Prevent Youth Homelessness

Sometimes all it takes is an unaffordable car repair or a high heating bill to start a spiral that results in homelessness.

Opinion: Criminalizing homelessness is a heartless response to a complex issue

The Grants Pass decision does nothing to solve the problem of homelessness. Simply because an unhoused person has no option other than sleeping on a park bench or in a tent on a public sidewalk, they could now be issued citations with fines they cannot pay and may face a future that is forever hampered by a criminal record. When our society should be extending a helping hand, we are instead delivering a slap in the face.

Johnson Vs. Grants Pass Ruling Statement

On Friday, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that opens the door to fining and incarcerating individuals experiencing homelessness for sleeping outside. Waypoint is deeply disappointed in this decision.
