Homeless in the USA: Cities Granted Authority to Clear Homeless Encampments
Cities in the U.S. can now enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outside in public places.
The Supreme Court ruling means they’ll have the ability to clear out encampments.
But activists have planned a rally in Washington DC on Saturday to highlight the poverty faced by tens of millions of people.
Something they say isn’t being treated as a major issue this Presidential campaign.

Some Beverly Hills residents and business owners are expressing concern for their safety as homeless encampments expand along this affluent city’s border with Los Angeles.
The encampments have appeared along San Vicente Boulevard near Orlando Avenue, just south of the upscale Beverly Center shopping mall. Residents reported seeing a homeless woman, who they believe was intoxicated, lying naked on an abandoned couch.
