Judicial Branch of Arizona in Maricopa County’s Post

#Legalupdate: The Supreme Court's recent ruling on homeless camps was important for #localgov, but it isn't the end of litigation on this issue. The next wrinkle: can zoning laws that prohibit a church from allowing homeless to camp on their property violate the 1st Amendment protection for religious expression? Yes, according to a recent federal ruling, absent a compelling local interest. It's a narrow case and will surely be appealed, but there are more cases to come that will further clarify local powers on this subject. #codeenforcement #municipal #localgovernment #citymanager #citymanagement #publicsafety Civica Law Group, APC Civic Business Journal PublicCEO California JPIA Western City Magazine ICC Orange Empire Chapter International Code Council American Association of Municipal Executives American Association of Code Enforcement California Association Of Code Enforcement Officers https://lnkd.in/gdjbfpPB

Many of you know that I spent 6 years as a trustee for Hope and Homes for Children (HHC), whose mission is to eliminate institutional care for children globally. A shocking statistic is that 80% of children in orphanages are not orphans, and many have mental and physical disabilities. Orphanages expose children to abuse, trafficking, and physical and psychological trauma that can last a lifetime. HHC has launched a petition which will be used in discussions with world leaders, governments, local authorities, and global and regional governing bodies to support getting children 'Back to Family'. If you support this cause, please add your name to the petition at https://lnkd.in/dExzKpFm    #BackToFamily. @hopeandhomesforchildren

Homelessness is a choice many in this lucky country are being forced to make. I don't know about you, but I feel it is downright #UnAustralian to look the other way. Not just Social Sector Organisations and Peak Bodies, we should all be lobbying Government as concerned citizens that legislation should be drafted in support of the basic human right to have somewhere to call home. The rough sleepers that far too many believe is the Homelessness problem need to be made aware, that is the end result for far too many who just need a helping hand, a hand up, as to not having their only choice be to become homeless. The Great Australian Dream is coming crashing down for far too many and with the #CostOfLivingCrisis and #HousingAffordabilityCrisis being driven by the Haves........ the Have Not's are forced into Survival mode and whatever it takes. Good people can turn bad, when they are forced to just exist, in the absence of the opportunities to thrive! #LivingWages #HumanityNotCharity #SocialConscience #EndHomelessness

The topic of slavery, often mentioned only in history books, is a major issue that still exists today. Known as human trafficking in today’s society, it exists in our world, country city. The business of human trafficking has grown into an estimated $32 billion industry where mainly women and children are trafficked. Across the world there are estimated to be 27 million victims who are trafficked. And it is happening right in front of us.   #noslavery #humantrafficking #humantraffickingawareness #sextrafficking #endhumantrafficking #humanrights #childtrafficking #savethechildren # #saveourchildren #modernslavery

🏡 Criminalizing homelessness is not the answer. As cities await the Supreme Court's decision in Grants Pass v. Johnson, it's crucial to focus on expanding access to affordable housing and support services.
