Homelessness is now illegal in this state…

Missouri’s top mental health official balked at new homeless law. The governor signed it anyway.

Gov. Mike Parson, who announced Huhn’s selection as director in December, signed the Republican-backed measure into law in June.

The law, which goes into effect Jan. 1, 2023, makes it a felony to sleep on state-owned land, such as under highway overpasses and bridges. After one warning, anyone found illegally camping on state-owned land could face a $750 fine or a Class C misdemeanor charge punishable by up to 15 days in prison.

The measure also bars cities and organizations from using state and federal grants to build permanent housing for the unsheltered. Rather, that money must be directed to build temporary camps.

California, Washington, and Georgia need to follow suit.

I think this can't become law if you see it logically. A homeless can't find a house either for financial reasons or criminal record, which make these ppl automatically criminals, and this law prohibits cities from building houses for these ppl. It is illogical or those who wrote it cunts who wants to make some profit.

So what happens if they can't pay their fine, are they gonna get arrested? They'd be doing them a favour. Roof over their head, 3 meals a day, clean pair of clothes

Still better than some European countries. I watched a homeless man get refused entry to a shelter while the police literally stood by and followed him around a full minute to pick him up and take him to jail.

its a smart law to make homeless vagabonds fill the prison and enhance the prison industry profits. Which i agree with, because most of them are mentally ill, and prison will give them structure
