Judge Blocks Camping Ban in Oregon City Amid Homelessness Lawsuit

In a significant development regarding homelessness laws in Oregon, a Josephine County judge has granted a preliminary injunction against the city of Grants Pass, preventing it from enforcing its ban on encampments. This ruling comes as part of the ongoing Disability Rights Oregon v. Grants Pass lawsuit. The judge emphasized that Grants Pass must fulfill certain court-mandated conditions before it can enforce any camping ban, highlighting the need for more accessible sites for homeless campers. As this case unfolds, Grants Pass is barred from implementing its anti-homeless ordinances, in alignment with recent Supreme Court rulings on similar issues.
