Separate counts of sheltered people and unsheltered people are critical in understanding the homeless population. Each state has different laws, social services and medical policies, and other conditions which influence the number of homeless persons, and what services are available to homeless people in each state. A 2022 study found that differences in per capita homelessness rates across the country are not due to mental illness, drug addiction, or <a href="/wiki/Poverty" title="Poverty">poverty</a>, but to differences in the cost of housing due largely to <a href="/wiki/Housing_shortage" class="mw-redirect" title="Housing shortage">housing shortages</a>, with West Coast cities including <a href="/wiki/Seattle" title="Seattle">Seattle</a>, <a href="/wiki/Portland,_Oregon" title="Portland, Oregon">Portland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Homelessness_in_the_San_Francisco_Bay_Area" title="Homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area">San Francisco</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> having homelessness rates five times that of areas with much lower housing costs, like <a href="/wiki/Arkansas" title="Arkansas">Arkansas</a>, <a href="/wiki/West_Virginia" title="West Virginia">West Virginia</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Detroit" title="Detroit">Detroit</a>, even though the latter locations have high burdens of <a href="/wiki/Opioid_addiction" class="mw-redirect" title="Opioid addiction">opioid addiction</a> and poverty.<a href="#cite_note-Colburn_&_Aldern_book-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-LAT_2022-07-11-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-ST_2022-03-22-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-Atlantic_2022-12-12-7">[7]</a> The state by state counts of people listed below are derived from under-reported federal HUD statistics.

Many cities such as <a href="/wiki/Mobile,_Alabama" title="Mobile, Alabama">Mobile</a>, Alabama have introduced a set of ordinances to prohibit panhandling in the "Downtown Visitors Domain" area, as well regulations for panhandlers in the rest of the city including disallowing; panhandling at night, physical contact while panhandling, panhandling in groups, and approaching those in queues or traffic.<a href="#cite_note-blog.al.com-17">[17]</a> These ordinances are an improvement on the previously vague prohibition of "begging".<a href="#cite_note-blog.al.com-17">[17]</a> For those soliciting donations for charitable organizations, a permit must be obtained for the fundraising operation to be exempt from panhandling ordinances.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> Panhandling in the Downtown Visitors Domain may result in fines and jail sentences for those involved.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> Another effort to limit panhandling in Mobile is an initiative using donation meters through which people can donate money to approved charities in attempts to resolve the necessity of panhandling by providing disadvantaged citizens with resources.

Measures have included arresting and jailing individuals caught in the act. Arizona's Revised Statutes title 13. Criminal Code 2905(a)(3) sought to ban begging from the state of Arizona, specifically in the area of being "present in a public place to beg, unless specifically authorized by law."<a href="#cite_note-American_Civil_Liberties_Union-33">[33]</a> The city of Flagstaff took the policy a step further by implementing a practice of arresting, jailing and prosecuting individuals who are beg for money or food.<a href="#cite_note-American_Civil_Liberties_Union-33">[33]</a> In February 2013, Marlene Baldwin, a woman in her late 70s was arrested and jailed for asking a plain clothed officer for $1.25. Between June 2012 and May 2013 135 individuals were arrested under the law.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> After criticism and a lawsuit from The American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona the policy was deemed unconstitutional, as it breached free speech rights granted by both federal and state constitutions. In his judgement, Judge Neil V. Wake declared the A.R.S 13-2905(a)(3) was void and prohibited any practices the city of Flagstaff has implemented that " interferes with, targets, cites, arrests, or prosecutes any person on the basis of their act(s) of peaceful begging in public areas."<a href="#cite_note-American_Civil_Liberties_Union-33">[33]</a> Despite this, the state of Arizona continued to pursue other ways to criminalize panhandling. Their response to Judge Wake's judgment was to criminalize "aggressive panhandling. The bill that passed into law in 2015 prohibits individuals from asking for money within 15-feet of an ATM or bank without prior permission from the property owner.<a href="#cite_note-Phoenix_New_Times-35">[35]</a> It prohibits "following the person being solicited in a manner that is intended or likely to cause a reasonable person to fear imminent bodily harm," or "obstructing the safe or free passage of the person being solicited."<a href="#cite_note-Phoenix_New_Times-35">[35]</a> The city of Chandler has proposed a new bill that prevents panhandling along city streets justifying the law by citing safety concerns. The proposed laws would make it a civil traffic offence for an individual to be at a median strip for any purposes other than crossing the road.<a href="#cite_note-azcentral.com-36">[36]</a> Under the proposed law, the first violation would be treated as a civil traffic offence; however, a second violation within 24 months would be treated as a Class 1 misdemeanor citation in which an individual could be fined a maximum of $2500 and face up to six months in jail.<a href="#cite_note-azcentral.com-36">[36]</a> The State of Arizona continues to seek measures that would both limit panhandling but also satisfy the judgement made by Judge Neil V. Wake and the First Amendment. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Arkansas">Arkansas</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Arkansas">edit</a>]</div> In 2015, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development released a report detailing the decline of homelessness in Arkansas, but that the level of <a href="/wiki/Homeless_veterans_in_the_United_States" title="Homeless veterans in the United States">homeless veterans</a> had increased. They found that 2,560 people were homeless in Arkansas in January 2015, and that 207 were veterans, an 83% increase in veteran homelessness since January 2009. Arkansas is one of only five states to have seen homelessness among veterans to increase by more than 100 people in that time. Of those five states, Arkansas had the largest number of homeless veterans. This is compared to nationwide, where homelessness among veterans has decreased by 35% since 2009.<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> As of 2015, it was estimated that 1,334 of the homeless in Arkansas are youths. In Arkansas, the most common causes of homelessness are income issues and personal relationships. The median time spent homeless is 12 months, however 30% have been homeless for over two years.<a href="#cite_note-media.arkansasonline.com-38">[38]</a> Jon Woodward from the 7Hills shelter in Fayetteville, AR said "primarily the two largest groups of who's homeless in our region are families with children and veterans. And those are two groups that our community really does care about and can get behind supporting."<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> Despite this, shelters in Little Rock have struggled with insufficient funding and police harassment, resulting in reducing hours or closure.<a href="#cite_note-Homeless_2016-40">[40]</a> Under loitering laws, lingering or remaining in a public place with the intention to beg is prohibited in Arkansas.<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a> However, in November 2016 in Little Rock, a judge ruled that this law banning begging was unconstitutional, and violated the First Amendment. The American Civil Liberties Union filed the case on behalf of Michael Rodgers, a disabled veteran, and Glynn Dilbeck, a homeless man who was arrested for holding up a sign asking for money to cover his daughter's medical expenses. ACLU were successful in their challenge, meaning that law enforcement officers will be prohibited from arresting or issuing citations to people for begging or panhandling.<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a> The loitering law has had a history of being abused by police officers in the state of Arkansas. For example, two homeless men reported separate incidents of having been kicked out of Little Rock Bus Station by police officers. Despite showing valid tickets that showed that their bus would arrive within 30 minutes, they were told they could not wait on the premises because they were loitering. In another incident, police officers told homeless people to leave a free public event or be subject to arrest for loitering in a park, although vendors at the event had encouraged the homeless to attend and take free samples of their merchandise. In 2005, police assembled an undercover taskforce to crack down on panhandling in the downtown Little Rock area, arresting 41 people.<a href="#cite_note-Homeless_2016-40">[40]</a> 72% of the homeless report ever being arrested.<a href="#cite_note-media.arkansasonline.com-38">[38]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="California">California</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: California">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Homelessness_in_California" title="Homelessness in California">Homelessness in California</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><video id="mwe_player_0" poster="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/Gavin_Newsom_speaks_about_homelessness_and_the_Trump_Administration_-_2019-09-16.ogv/220px--Gavin_Newsom_speaks_about_homelessness_and_the_Trump_Administration_-_2019-09-16.ogv.jpg" controls="" preload="none" data-mw-tmh="" class="mw-file-element" width="220" height="124" data-durationhint="60" data-mwtitle="Gavin_Newsom_speaks_about_homelessness_and_the_Trump_Administration_-_2019-09-16.ogv" data-mwprovider="wikimediacommons" resource="/wiki/File:Gavin_Newsom_speaks_about_homelessness_and_the_Trump_Administration_-_2019-09-16.ogv"><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/b/bc/Gavin_Newsom_speaks_about_homelessness_and_the_Trump_Administration_-_2019-09-16.ogv/Gavin_Newsom_speaks_about_homelessness_and_the_Trump_Administration_-_2019-09-16.ogv.480p.vp9.webm" type="video/webm;

The <a href="/wiki/Central_Atlanta_Progress" title="Central Atlanta Progress">Central Atlanta Progress (CAP)</a> was one of the most notable voices in Atlanta promoting these sort of initiatives. For example, their first major initiative was to criminalize homelessness. They saw the homeless population as a threat to public safety. Their efforts were met with conflicted responses from police and Georgian citizens due to the large size and demographic makeup of the homeless population in Atlanta. The majority of the homeless were black males.<a href="#cite_note-Steffen-2012-61">[61]</a> On top of that, Atlanta's first black mayor, <a href="/wiki/Maynard_Jackson" title="Maynard Jackson">Maynard Jackson</a>, had been recently elected into office. Having elected a black male into office, the topic of race and politics was prominent in the minds of many Georgian citizens.<a href="#cite_note-Steffen-2012-61">[61]</a> The idea to criminalize homelessness looked bad in the eyes of these citizens and created a lot of skepticism about the CAP's true purpose. Participation was not met in the way the CAP had hoped for. Since the 1970s and 1980s attempts to combat homelessness have continued not just from businesses but from the government level as well.<a href="#cite_note-62">[62]</a> In 1996 to prepare for hosting the <a href="/wiki/1996_Summer_Olympics" title="1996 Summer Olympics">Olympic games</a>, <a href="/wiki/Fulton_County,_Georgia" title="Fulton County, Georgia">Fulton County</a> provided the homeless people in the area with the opportunity to leave the town as long as they could provide proof of either a family or a job waiting for them at their choice of destination. Fulton County would then give them a one way bus ticket provided that the recipient signed a document agreeing not to return to Atlanta.<a href="#cite_note-63">[63]</a> While it is unclear how many people took this offer to leave the city for free, it is estimated that thousands of the homeless population in Atlanta did take this one-way ticket. For the ones that did not leave, around 9,000 homeless persons were arrested for activities such as<a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> trespassing,<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> disorderly conduct, panhandling, and<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> urban camping. Urban camping is the use of public or city owned space to sleep or to protect one's personal belongings. For example, the use of a tent underneath a bridge in order to serve as a living space is prohibited. Action towards panhandling has also been seen from the government.<a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> Many downtown cities around the United States have tried to combat panhandlers by prohibiting panhandling at certain locations as well as restricting the time periods that it is allowed. In Georgia, Atlanta was proactive with this idea by banning panhandling in what is known as the "tourist triangle" in August 2005.<a href="#cite_note-68">[68]</a> Another ban prohibited panhandling within 15 feet of common public places such as ATM's and train stations. Violations are punished with either a fine or imprisonment.<a href="#cite_note-McWilliams-2012-69">[69]</a> In 2012, the city of Atlanta created an anti-panhandling law which criminalizes aggressive panhandling. Aggressive panhandling is defined as any form of gestures or intense intervention for the sake of retrieving monetary substance.<a href="#cite_note-McWilliams-2012-69">[69]</a> This includes blocking the path of a bystander, following a bystander, using harsh language directed at a bystander, or any other indications that could be perceived as a threat by the person it is directed at. Violations are punished based on the number of offenses with the third offense being the highest. The third offense and all future offenses beyond that will result in a minimum of 90 days in jail. A second offense will result in 30 days of jail time while the first offense results in up to 30 days of community service.<a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a> The policies that Atlanta has put in place were very similar to the ones that <a href="/wiki/Athens,_Georgia" title="Athens, Georgia">Athens, Georgia</a> currently has. Failing to adhere to the law could result in jail time or community service. <a href="/wiki/Clarke_County,_Georgia" title="Clarke County, Georgia">Athens-Clarke County</a> added the possibility for a fine to be paid instead of serving prison time or participating in community service. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Hawaii">Hawaii</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Hawaii">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Homeless_Honolulu_1_(30509072941).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Homeless_Honolulu_1_%2830509072941%29.jpg/220px-Homeless_Honolulu_1_%2830509072941%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="278" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Homeless_Honolulu_1_%2830509072941%29.jpg/330px-Homeless_Honolulu_1_%2830509072941%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/Homeless_Honolulu_1_%2830509072941%29.jpg/440px-Homeless_Honolulu_1_%2830509072941%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2140" data-file-height="2700" /></a><figcaption>A homeless woman in Hawaii, 2016</figcaption></figure> In <a href="/wiki/Honolulu" title="Honolulu">Honolulu</a>, aggressive measures have been taken to remove the homeless from popular tourist spots such as Waikiki and Chinatown. Measures include criminalizing sitting or lying on sidewalks and transportation of homeless to the mainland.<a href="#cite_note-NYtimes2016-71">[71]</a> Section 14-75 of the Hawaii County Code gives that soliciting for money in an aggressive manner is illegal, with "aggressive" behaviors defined as those that cause fear, following, touching, blocking or using threatening gestures in the process of panhandling.<a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a> The citation penalty is a $25 fine and may include a term of imprisonment.<a href="#cite_note-HonoluluAdvertiser2007-73">[73]</a> Maria Foscarinis, executive director of the <a href="/wiki/National_Law_Center_on_Homelessness_and_Poverty" class="mw-redirect" title="National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty">National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty</a>, says that panhandling restrictions are a result of gentrification coupled with Hawaii's dependence on tourism.<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a> In 2013 alone, tourism in Hawaii generated $14.5 billion, which averaged $39 million per day.<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a> Hawaiian locals and business operators such as Dave Moskowitz agree with these restraints, arguing that panhandling is bad for tourism.<a href="#cite_note-HonoluluAdvertiser2007-73">[73]</a> Police in Hawaii state that panhandling is not a prominent issue, nor is it prioritized.<a href="#cite_note-Scott2002-76">[76]</a> Legally, ethically and practically, it is difficult for police to enforce strict panhandling laws at all times, thus police discretion plays a vital role in determining who is cited and how many citations are given. For the panhandling population who are cited, there is a general feeling of indifference or disregard, including refusal to pay fines.<a href="#cite_note-NYtimes2016-71">[71]</a> A number of studies indicate that the average panhandler is an unmarried, unemployed male in his 30s to 40s, often with drug/alcohol problems, a lack of social support and laborer's skills.<a href="#cite_note-Scott2002-76">[76]</a> These factors are likely to affect the poor perception of these laws in the panhandling population. Social justice advocates and non-governmental organizations will argue that this approach is therefore counterintuitive. They argue that panhandling laws violate free speech, criminalize homelessness and remove an essential part of destitute people's lives. Doran Porter, executive director of the Affordable Housing and Homeless Alliance, argues that these laws merely deal with the symptoms of homelessness rather than fixing the problem.<a href="#cite_note-HonoluluAdvertiser2007-73">[73]</a> Courts clarify whether the laws that restrict panhandling are constitutionally valid. In 2015, the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_Liberties_Union" title="American Civil Liberties Union">American Civil Liberties Union</a> of Hawaii foundation (ACLUH) paired with Davis Levin Livingston Law Firm to represent Justin Guy in suit against the Hawaii County. Guy's lawyers argued that prohibiting their client from holding up a sign that read 'Homeless Please Help' offended his First Amendment right to freedom of speech.<a href="#cite_note-ACLU2016-77">[77]</a> Matthew Winter, a lawyer on the case, made reference to political candidates, who are lawfully able to hold signs, to contrast against the inability of the poor to hold up signs asking for help.<a href="#cite_note-ACLU2016-77">[77]</a> The court ruled in Guy's favour, which led to an award of $80,000 compensation and repeal of subsections 14–74, 14–75, 15–9, 15–20, 15–21, 15–35 and 15–37 of the Hawaii County Code. In a statement, Guy emphasized the need for the State of Hawaii to treat the homeless with the same dignity as the general population.<a href="#cite_note-ACLU2016-77">[77]</a> The future of panhandling laws in Hawaii is reliant on legislators and their perception of panhandling's impact on tourism. By utilizing aggressive political language, such as 'the war on homelessness' and 'emergency state,' Hawaiian politics will continue to criminalize the behaviors of destitute populations. On the other hand, with pressure from state/federal departments and non-governmental organizations, restrictions on panhandling laws may be possible. The <a href="/wiki/U.S._Department_of_Housing_and_Urban_Development" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development">U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development</a>, for example, has stated that it would not provide homeless assistance funds to states that criminalize homelessness.<a href="#cite_note-NYtimes2016-71">[71]</a> Given that Hawaii has one of the US's largest growing homeless populations (between 2007 and 2016, Hawaii saw a 30.5% increase in homelessness), it is in a poor position to reject federal funding and assistance from non-governmental organizations.<a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Idaho">Idaho</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Idaho">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid #36c;background-color:#fbfbfb;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+link+.ambox{margin-top:-1px}html body.mediawiki .mw-parser-output .ambox.mbox-small-left{margin:4px 1em 4px 0;overflow:hidden;width:238px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em}.mw-parser-output .ambox-speedy{border-left:10px solid #b32424;background-color:#fee7e6}.mw-parser-output .ambox-delete{border-left:10px solid #b32424}.mw-parser-output .ambox-content{border-left:10px solid #f28500}.mw-parser-output .ambox-style{border-left:10px solid #fc3}.mw-parser-output .ambox-move{border-left:10px solid #9932cc}.mw-parser-output .ambox-protection{border-left:10px solid #a2a9b1}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-text{border:none;padding:0.25em 0.5em;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image{border:none;padding:2px 0 2px 0.5em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-imageright{border:none;padding:2px 0.5em 2px 0;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-empty-cell{border:none;padding:0;width:1px}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image-div{width:52px}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .ambox{margin:0 10%}}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .ambox{display:none!important}}</style><table class="box-Empty_section plainlinks metadata ambox mbox-small-left ambox-content" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><a href="/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="[icon]" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/20px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png" decoding="async" width="20" height="14" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/30px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/40px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="44" data-file-height="31" /></a></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section is empty.

The Blueprint notwithstanding, Indianapolis has criminalized aspects of homelessness, such as making <a href="/wiki/Begging" title="Begging">panhandling</a> a <a href="/wiki/Misdemeanor" title="Misdemeanor">misdemeanor</a>. The City-County Council has twice, in April 2002, and August 2005, denied the zoning necessary to open a new shelter for homeless women.<a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Iowa">Iowa</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Iowa">edit</a>]</div> Homelessness in Iowa is a significant issue. In 2015, 12,918 Iowans were homeless and 'served by emergency shelters, transitional housing, rapid rehousing or street outreach projects'.<a href="#cite_note-Community_Alliances-85">[85]</a> Another 8,174 Iowans were at risk of being homeless and lived in supportive housing or were involved in street outreach projects.<a href="#cite_note-Community_Alliances-85">[85]</a> The actual number of homeless Iowans is likely to be substantially greater, as these figures only account for those who sought help. Homelessness is particularly problematic in Iowa City, as there is only one shelter in the city to cater for its large homeless population.<a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a> Those who have been abusing substances are prohibited from using this shelter, thus excluding a large proportion of homeless people.<a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a> Panhandling has become an increasingly significant problem in Iowa. There is much controversy surrounding how best to deal with this widespread issue. Debate has focused on the best way to balance compassion, free speech and public safety.<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> Iowan cities have struggled with finding the balance between avoiding criminalising poverty, while at the same time not encouraging begging, particularly that which is aggressive. There has also been widespread concern about the legitimacy of panhandlers and the significant amount of money that some are making. Cedar Rapids panhandler, Dawn, admitted that she has come across many illegitimate panhandlers. These include people who already have access to housing and financial assistance, and even some who pretend to be disabled or to be a veteran.<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a> A famous incident in Muscatine, Iowa, photos of which went viral, provides a prime example of the tensions that exist around the legitimacy of panhandlers. In December 2015, two young boys were panhandling, holding signs which read 'broke and hungry please'.<a href="#cite_note-90">[90]</a> Pothoff, who worked nearby, offered the boys a job. The boys stated that they were 'not from around here', smirked and walked away. Pothoff then decided to join the boys on the side of the road, holding up his own sign, which read 'Offered these guys a job, they said no, don't give them money'. Following the Supreme Court case, United States v Kokinda, 497 U.S. 720, 725 (1990), the right to beg for money is protected speech under the First Amendment.<a href="#cite_note-Regulation_of_Panhandling-91">[91]</a> Therefore, panhandling cannot be entirely prohibited. However, as per Ward v Rock Against Racism, 491 U.S. 781, 791 (1989), US cities may enact 'reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions' which are narrowly drafted to 'serve a significant governmental interest' and also allow for this speech to occur in an alternative setting.<a href="#cite_note-Regulation_of_Panhandling-91">[91]</a> This has led to a trend amongst many Iowan cities of enacting ordinances which control and restrict panhandling. In Bettendorf, aggressive panhandling, panhandling on a travelled portion of a roadway and soliciting on a bus, bus stop, within 15 feet of an automated teller machine or on Interstate 74 exit ramps between certain hours of the day are all prohibited.<a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a> A panhandling licence is required and this can be revoked for 6 months if any of these regulations are breached, in addition to a fine or incarceration.<a href="#cite_note-Panhandling_ordinances-93">[93]</a> Bettendorf grants panhandling licences for free, however licences must be renewed every 6 months and candidates must undergo a police check.<a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a> Similarly, in Davenport, aggressive panhandling, soliciting within 20 feet of an automated teller machine or bank entrance, or on a roadway or median of a roadway are prohibited.<a href="#cite_note-Panhandling_ordinances-93">[93]</a> Police Chief Paul Sirorski admitted that the ordinance can be difficult to enforce and that the number of complaints concerning panhandlers in Davenport is increasing.<a href="#cite_note-95">[95]</a> In light of community concerns, Davenport is set to review the ordinance.<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a> Iowa City has similar ordinances and has installed special purple parking meters which are used to fund homeless organizations.<a href="#cite_note-thegazette.com-97">[97]</a> The aim is to encourage people to give money to homeless programs through parking fees, rather than directly to beggars. However, some argue that it is better to donate money to panhandlers than to organizations as you can be sure that the money is going directly to the person without any loss through administrative costs.<a href="#cite_note-98">[98]</a> As Cedar Rapids currently has no ordinance controlling panhandling, there has been an increase in the number of panhandlers.<a href="#cite_note-Myers-2016-99">[99]</a> Cedar Rapids has also seen an increase in the number of complaints concerning panhandlers.<a href="#cite_note-Myers-2016-99">[99]</a> This has led to consideration of the introduction of an ordinance that would prohibit panhandling in certain areas. The ordinance also includes plans for police to be able to give resource cards to panhandlers. These cards provide a list of resources which provide housing, food and financial assistance. Councils claim that these ordinances are necessary to ensure public safety and prevent traffic accidents. Other rationales behind these laws include 'to improve the image of the city to tourists, businesses and other potential investors' and to reflect the growing "compassion fatigue" of the city's middle and upper class after increasingly being exposed to widespread homelessness.<a href="#cite_note-Saelinger-2006-100">[100]</a> However, Saelinger (2006) argues that these laws '"criminalize" the very condition of being homeless'.<a href="#cite_note-Saelinger-2006-100">[100]</a> Saelinger (2006) also claims that through the implementation of these laws, governments have focused on making homelessness invisible, rather than working to eradicate it.<a href="#cite_note-Saelinger-2006-100">[100]</a> The aesthetics of cities has also influenced the enactment of these ordinances, with businesses complaining that panhandlers bother their customers and make them feel uncomfortable, in addition to ruining the image of the city.<a href="#cite_note-thegazette.com-97">[97]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Kansas">Kansas</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Kansas">edit</a>]</div> In comparison with the US, Kansas continued to have an increasing level of homelessness until 2015. Between 2007 and 2015, homelessness across the US fell by 13 percent, while in Kansas it rose by more than 23 percent. Individuals predominantly fell victim to homelessness rather than families, generating this increase in homelessness.<a href="#cite_note-kansas.com-101">[101]</a> This is in discord with <a href="/wiki/Sedgwick_County,_Kansas" title="Sedgwick County, Kansas">Sedgwick</a> County's reputation as one of the most successful counties in the US for providing shelter to homeless family members and individuals. Chronic homelessness was seen to be more prevalent and increasing as was the proportion of veterans subjected to sleeping on the streets.<a href="#cite_note-kansas.com-101">[101]</a> However, Kansas currently holds approximately 0.5% of the total homelessness in the US, listing itself in the bottom third of all of the US states.<a href="#cite_note-102">[102]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Begging_and_associated_crimes">Begging and associated crimes</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Begging and associated crimes">edit</a>]</div> There is much concern within Kansas regarding the legitimacy of begging and panhandling. For example, within Wichita alone, there are many reports of persons posing as homeless to make a quick income and fuel their addiction habits such as alcohol, drugs, and sex.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceC-103">[103]</a> This has been seen to increase recently with the development of boutiques and shops that are drawing growing numbers of customers and tourists to the area. Residents have further complained that many whom are homeless are frequently choosing to bypass available services in order to maintain their lifestyle. This increase in 'untruthful' begging has resulted in further chronic homelessness, as those who are most genuinely in need are being sidelined by 'quick-fix intruders'.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceC-103">[103]</a> The consequences of begging and panhandling across Kansas is not uniform, it differs from county to county, with some counties choosing to acknowledge it as a crime and others rejecting its presence. Under Kansas' Wyandotte County code of ordinances, panhandling is deemed an unlawful act when it occurs in an aggressive manner.<a href="#cite_note-104">[104]</a> The consequences of panhandling present as an unclassified misdemeanour, which under Wyandotte County law signifies that unless the penalty is otherwise stated, it will receive the same penalty as a Class C misdemeanour i.e., punishable by up to one month in jail and a fine of up to $500.<a href="#cite_note-105">[105]</a> This is less severe in comparison to Wichita County whereby the act of begging is deemed as a crime of loitering and is penalized with a fine of up to $1,000, one year imprisonment, or both.<a href="#cite_note-106">[106]</a> Counties such as Shawnee County and Sedgwick differ, with Sedgwick County making no mention of such acts constituting crimes within its ordinance, Topeka follows suit. Such a scenario in Topeka occurred due to a 9–0 vote to defer action of panhandling, where a penalty of 179 days in jail and/or a fine up to $499 might have been applied if caught violating this ordinance.<a href="#cite_note-107">[107]</a> This ordinance was only suspended indefinitely. If it is reviewed and passed, it may result in the banning of solicitation on private property unless prior permission has been granted from the property owner. Begging would not be affected and would remain legal.<a href="#cite_note-108">[108]</a> Topeka currently does hold laws against soliciting on public property, which have not been found to target the homeless, rather targeting many backpackers instead. According to Topeka law, it is illegal to solicit funds, rides, or contributions along roadways, meaning that persons whom present cardboard signs asking for lifts throughout the city can be liable to penalties.<a href="#cite_note-Baumgardner-109">[109]</a> Such a law has stemmed from the high prevalence of scams in the area, such as men saying they have mechanical issues with their cars and women citing domestic abuse and the need for funds to stay at a hotel, which has forced a public awareness and therefore campaigns in the area.<a href="#cite_note-Baumgardner-109">[109]</a> Kansas has a variety of services available to those who encounter panhandlers with organizations such as Downtown Wichita<a href="#cite_note-110">[110]</a> in association with the <a href="/wiki/Wichita_Police_Department" title="Wichita Police Department">Wichita police</a>, creating information on methods to stop panhandling. This has been developed in the mode of a myriad of pamphlets regarding available services for the homeless which can be printed off and distributed by businesses when they encounter persons panhandling or begging.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceC-103">[103]</a> Such services often report back to the Homeless Outreach Team in an attempt to reduce the prevalence of homelessness in the long-term.<a href="#cite_note-downtownwichita.org-111">[111]</a> Persons encountering panhandlers and beggars in Kansas, if unable to politely refuse, are encouraged to contact 911.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceC-103">[103]</a><a href="#cite_note-downtownwichita.org-111">[111]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Kentucky">Kentucky</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Kentucky">edit</a>]</div> Many city and counties within the United States have enacted ordinances to limit or ban panhandling.<a href="#cite_note-112">[112]</a> However, the legality of such laws has recently come under scrutiny, being challenged as a violation of individuals first amendment rights.<a href="#cite_note-szanto-113">[113]</a> The first amendment states that "Congress shall make no law ... prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech."<a href="#cite_note-114">[114]</a> It is therefore argued that stopping someone from asking for help from their fellow citizens is impeding on their right to free speech. Panhandling laws differ throughout the state of Kentucky. In the city of Louisville, for example, it is an offence to panhandle in certain locations including: within 20 feet of a bus stop or ATM, in a crosswalk/ street, or anywhere that may be impeding others.<a href="#cite_note-louisvilleky2007-115">[115]</a> The ordinance places a strong emphasis on aggressive panhandling which had become a prominent issue within Louisville.<a href="#cite_note-louisvilleky2007-115">[115]</a> These municipal laws are one of the many that have recently come under scrutiny, being challenged as unconstitutional under first amendment rights.<a href="#cite_note-szanto-113">[113]</a><a href="#cite_note-116">[116]</a> In October 2016, a judge of the Jefferson Court District ruled against the laws, deeming them to be unconstitutional.<a href="#cite_note-gazaway-117">[117]</a> This decision is currently being reviewed by the Kentucky Supreme Court.<a href="#cite_note-gazaway-117">[117]</a> In contrast, the city of Ashland, Kentucky has not come under scrutiny as their ordinance is less comprehensive and therefore less likely to impede individuals rights.<a href="#cite_note-Adkins-118">[118]</a> However, recently the ordinance was amended to further crack down on the act of panhandling, adding an amendment to stop panhandlers from walking out into traffic, in an attempt to keep both beggars and the public safe.<a href="#cite_note-Adkins-118">[118]</a> Panhandling laws are often controversial as they are generally welcomed by the public, who can feel harassed.<a href="#cite_note-fishman-119">[119]</a> However, it is also argued that they are disadvantaging the homeless and those in need.<a href="#cite_note-fishman-119">[119]</a> As an attorney of the UCLA states, panhandling laws are "misdirected" and their purpose is to try and hide the problem of homelessness.<a href="#cite_note-120">[120]</a> In 2017, there were 4,538 reported homeless people in the state of Kentucky (0.10% of the population), which is consistent with rates of homelessness in many of Kentucky's neighboring states including Tennessee and Ohio.<a href="#cite_note-NAEH-121">[121]</a> This number of homeless in Kentucky has declined since 2014.<a href="#cite_note-NAEH-121">[121]</a> The Kentucky Interagency Council on Homelessness is working towards an end to homelessness, their mission; to end homelessness across the state of Kentucky, with clear outlined goals and strategies on how this is going to be achieved.<a href="#cite_note-KICH-122">[122]</a> One of their main goals is to assist local municipalities to end homelessness within the state.<a href="#cite_note-KICH-122">[122]</a> The director for Homeless Prevention and Intervention in Kentucky, Charlie Lanter, says that in regards to panhandling, "if they're successful, then they have no incentive to go to a shelter or to go somewhere for food, or whatever their particular needs are ..."<a href="#cite_note-123">[123]</a> which limits the organizations ability to assist the individual off the streets. In particular, the city of Owensber has had support from its homeless shelters in protecting panhandler's rights on the streets, for example, Harry Pedigo, the director of St. Benedicts Homeless Shelter in Kentucky wants local panhandlers to know that the homeless organizations are there to help and not judge their situation.<a href="#cite_note-124">[124]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Louisiana">Louisiana</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Louisiana">edit</a>]</div> Begging, panhandling and homelessness have been prevalent issues for the state of Louisiana for some time, and correlate closely with its poverty rates.

In 2011, the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan (ACLU) filed a federal lawsuit challenging a law that makes begging a crime as a violation of free speech.<a href="#cite_note-aclumich.org-171">[171]</a> Prior to this, the ACLU discovered that police officers had been arresting, prosecuting and jailing individual people for requesting financial assistance on the streets. Between 2008 and 2011, there were approximately 400 arrests made by Grand Rapids under an old law that criminalizes the act of begging – 211 of these cases resulted in jail time.<a href="#cite_note-aclumich.org-171">[171]</a> The ACLU focused on the cases of two men. James Speet was arrested for holding a sign reading "Need a Job. God Bless" and Ernest Sims, a veteran, was arrested for asking for spare change for a bus fare.<a href="#cite_note-172">[172]</a> The debate was seated in the fact that other individuals and organizations were allowed to raise funds on the streets without being charged for a crime, yet these man were jailed for the same principle.<a href="#cite_note-aclumich.org-171">[171]</a> The results of these cases were positive for the ACLU side – Judge Robert Jonker ruled in 2012 that the law is unconstitutional and in 2013 the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that begging is protected speech under the First Amendment.<a href="#cite_note-aclumich.org-171">[171]</a> On the opposition side of this case and wider debate was the State Attorney General Bill Schuette who appealed the ruling that the state law violated the First Amendment. Schuette contended that the city and the state safety is at risk and there were concerns around pedestrian and vehicle traffic, protection of businesses and tourism, as well as fraud.<a href="#cite_note-mlive.com-173">[173]</a> The state and argued that it had an interest in preventing Fraud – Schuette contended that not all who beg are legitimately homeless or use the funds they raise to meet basic needs, the money goes to alcohol and other substances. The court agreed with Schuette that preventing fraud and duress are in the interest of the state, but directly prohibiting begging does not align with the prevention of fraud as they are not necessarily intertwined.<a href="#cite_note-mlive.com-173">[173]</a> This debate resurfaced again in 2016 with the two sides again being prevention of unwanted behaviours and preservation of constitutional rights. In Battle Creek, officials passed a pair of proposals that are aimed at limiting panhandling and loitering throughout the city.<a href="#cite_note-battlecreekenquirer.com-174">[174]</a> City commissioners were split in the vote along with the general public. Under the new ordinances the following situations could lead to legal apprehension by the police – remaining idly within 25 feet of an intersection without a license; soliciting money from anyone near building entrances, restrooms, ATMS or in line; panhandling between sunset and sunrise on public property without an official license or permit; approaching another person in a way that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, intimidated or harassed; forcing oneself upon another i.e. continuing to ask for money after being turned down. Any violations can be considered civil infractions and can result in fines. The bill, aimed at targeting 'aggressive' panhandling was passed in September 2016.<a href="#cite_note-battlecreekenquirer.com-174">[174]</a> There are a range of implications that come along with the criminalization of begging behaviours. Jessica Vail is the program manager of the Grand Rapids Area Collation to End Homelessness and contends that it is more cost efficient for people to not be homeless and it also keeps our criminal justice system from getting overloaded.<a href="#cite_note-175">[175]</a> Don Mitchell conducted research in 1998 on the criminalization of behaviours associated with homelessness and begging and highlighted the negative effect this has on the cycle of homelessness and crime.<a href="#cite_note-Anti-Homeless_Laws_and_the_Public_S-176">[176]</a> Criminalizing behaviours that are necessary for the survival of homeless people such as begging, sleeping and sitting in public, loitering in parks and on streets and urinating and defecating in public leads them to be subjects of the criminal justice system.<a href="#cite_note-Anti-Homeless_Laws_and_the_Public_S-176">[176]</a> ACLU legislative liaison Shelli Weisberg consolidates this notion of a cyclical disadvantage in 2016 – fining people who cannot afford to pay a fine for something they cannot avoid doing and then putting them in a system where they cannot afford to defend themselves or challenge these offences questions how just the criminalization of such acts is.<a href="#cite_note-177">[177]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Minnesota">Minnesota</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Minnesota">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/2020_Minneapolis_park_encampments" title="2020 Minneapolis park encampments">2020 Minneapolis park encampments</a></div> In <a href="/wiki/Minnesota" title="Minnesota">Minnesota</a>, the prevalence of <a href="/wiki/Panhandler" class="mw-redirect" title="Panhandler">panhandling</a>, <a href="/wiki/Solicitation" title="Solicitation">solicitation</a> and <a href="/wiki/Begging" title="Begging">begging</a> in relation to homelessness have been deemed to be distinctive to each city.

The one-day count was conducted by 1,200 volunteers around 400 locations known to attract homeless such as transitional housing, shelters, drop in sites, hot meal programs and church basements. An increase of six percent in homeless were observed since the last study in 2009, while 55% of the homeless population were females and over 46% were under the age of 21.<a href="#cite_note-179">[179]</a> In a study conducted by St Stephen's Street Outreach staff, 55 panhandlers were surveyed in downtown Minneapolis to determine why people beg and how local police treat panhandlers. Individual responses neither collectively favoured negative or positive responses for the interaction between police and panhandlers. Examples of responses include that the police 'give you trouble', tell them to 'get the hell out of here' and 'give you a ticket', while other individuals believed that police were 'usually understanding', 'gentle' and 'very friendly and helpful'.<a href="#cite_note-180">[180]</a> The city council has passed an ordinance that allows those who aggressively solicit or engage in solicitation in prohibited locations to be criminally charged.<a href="#cite_note-181">[181]</a> Minnesota state law does not prohibit passive panhandling, such as holding a sign without verbal interaction and focuses on <a href="/wiki/Aggressive_panhandling" title="Aggressive panhandling">aggressive panhandling</a> as a breach of the law.

An example of this is 'Give Real Change', a campaign that began in 2009 with the aim to end homelessness for 300 to 500 people in areas within Minneapolis by the end of 2025. Billboards implemented by the campaign that display 'Say NO To Panhandling and YES To Giving,' urge community members to stop giving money to beggars and alternatively donate it to an organization that allocates money to shelters to end homelessness.

While in most US states such legislation is primarily enacted and included in city ordinances rather than state law, in Mississippi, the 2015 Mississippi Code provides for a specific definition of vagrancy that allows for "able-bodied persons who go begging for a livelihood" to be punished as vagrants as they are seen to be committing crimes against public peace and security.<a href="#cite_note-188">[188]</a> Title 99, Chapter 29 of the Code mandates law enforcement officers to arrest known vagrants with those deemed 'vagrant' subjected to fines for a first offence and up to six months imprisonment and the payment of court costs for subsequent offences.<a href="#cite_note-189">[189]</a> These definitions and penalties for homelessness have remained largely unchanged historically in the state of Mississippi which has tended to define vagrants to include those living in idleness or without employment and having no means of support, prostitutes, gamblers as well as beggars.<a href="#cite_note-190">[190]</a> Those who fall under these population groups continue to be defined as vagrants under the 2015 Mississippi Code.<a href="#cite_note-191">[191]</a> Controversially, such wide and discriminatory definitions have been tied to Mississippi's poor race relations with African Americans with vagrancy legislation in the latter half of the 19th century linked to "keeping black people in their rightful place" on the slave plantations.<a href="#cite_note-Stewart-1998-192">[192]</a> As a consequence, Mississippi's 'Black Code' on vagrancy applied in a racially discriminatory manner to African Americans such as ex-slaves and 'idle blacks' as well as white Americans who associated themselves with African Americans.<a href="#cite_note-193">[193]</a> While Mississippi was the first US state to enact such discriminatory and punitive legislation against African Americans, it was certainly not the last, with states including South Carolina, Alabama and Louisiana following Mississippi's lead with similar 'Black Code' legislation in 1865 that targeted homeless ex-slaves.<a href="#cite_note-Stewart-1998-192">[192]</a> In Jackson, Mississippi's largest city, begging or panhandling is specifically prohibited under the definition of "commercial solicitation". Begging is banned within 15 feet of public toilets, automatic teller machines (ATMs), parking lots, outdoor eating areas, pay telephones, bus stops, subway stations and entirely within the central business district.<a href="#cite_note-Municode_Library-2-194">[194]</a> Begging is banned after sunset and before sunrise and it is unlawful to "aggressive solicit" by blocking the path of another person, following another person, using abusive language or making a statement or gesture that would cause fear by a reasonable person.<a href="#cite_note-Municode_Library-2-194">[194]</a> Penalties for a first offence include a warning, citation or seven days community service, subject to law enforcement and prosecutor discretion. For subsequent offences, penalties may include up to 30 days community service, a $1,000 fine or up to 30 days imprisonment.<a href="#cite_note-Municode_Library-2-194">[194]</a> However, passive solicitation is not unlawful. This means that simply holding a sign asking for money is not illegal and in fact, is protected by the Jackson city ordinance that prohibits panhandling. Similar legislation that prohibits begging is also in place in Mississippi's second largest city, Gulfport.<a href="#cite_note-195">[195]</a> In July 2012, Jackson City Councilman Quentin Whitwell proposed tripling existing fines and implementing longer jail sentences for panhandling in response to heightened community concern about aggressive panhandlers and an escalating panhandling "epidemic".<a href="#cite_note-196">[196]</a> However, this proposal was later rejected by the Jackson City Council amidst concerns from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Mississippi that prohibiting panhandling under city ordinances may violate First Amendment rights under the US Constitution that protect freedom of speech.<a href="#cite_note-Fuller-2012-197">[197]</a> On the streets of Jackson, for people experiencing homelessness such as Raymond Quarles, city ordinances such as those originally proposed to prohibit begging increase their susceptibility to counter-productive law enforcement attention and policing activity. For instance, Raymond was arrested at least 10 times in as little as one month in Jackson shortly after experiencing homelessness from the combined effects of relationship breakdown, financial stress and a deterioration in physical health. What Raymond and the ACLU call for are additional support services to assist homeless community members find employment, housing and other support services rather than a "revolving door of crime" and entry into the criminal justice system that is perpetuated through simplistic bans on panhandling and other associated acts of vagrancy.<a href="#cite_note-Fuller-2012-197">[197]</a> While the US Supreme Court has not decisively decided on this issue and there is considerable debate as to whether begging constitutes conduct or speech, Fraser (2010) suggests that begging is likely to constitute speech and therefore blanket bans on begging in public areas enacted by local governments as in the case of Mississippi cities such as Jackson and Gulfport are likely to be unconstitutional and in breach of the First Amendment.<a href="#cite_note-198">[198]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Montana">Montana</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=29" title="Edit section: Montana">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444"><table class="box-Empty_section plainlinks metadata ambox mbox-small-left ambox-content" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><a href="/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="[icon]" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/20px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png" decoding="async" width="20" height="14" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/30px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/40px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="44" data-file-height="31" /></a></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section is empty.

Depending on where an individual is begging the rules and punishments can vary greatly. For example, in <a href="/wiki/Middle_Township,_New_Jersey" title="Middle Township, New Jersey">Middle Township</a>, it is prohibited to aggressively beg within 100 feet of an ATM, with a first offence punishable by up to a $250 fine, 30 days jail and 5 days community service.<a href="#cite_note-205">[205]</a> Whereas, in <a href="/wiki/New_Brunswick,_New_Jersey" title="New Brunswick, New Jersey">New Brunswick</a>, all begging within 25 feet of any bank or ATM is considered aggressive begging, which allows police to issue a cease and desist notice. Failure to comply with the notice may incur a $50 fine for each day of being in violation.<a href="#cite_note-206">[206]</a> In 2013, the local governments of <a href="/wiki/Middle_Township,_New_Jersey" title="Middle Township, New Jersey">Middle Township</a> and <a href="/wiki/Atlantic_City,_New_Jersey" title="Atlantic City, New Jersey">Atlantic City</a> reached national headlines for passing ordinances that require individuals to register for a free yearly permit before being allowed to beg for money in public.<a href="#cite_note-207">[207]</a><a href="#cite_note-208">[208]</a> Local officials and lawmakers of <a href="/wiki/Middle_Township,_New_Jersey" title="Middle Township, New Jersey">Middle Township</a> adopted the ordinance in response to complaints from the public in relation to the forceful and persistent tactics used by some panhandlers.<a href="#cite_note-209">[209]</a> However, these begging permits did not last with <a href="/wiki/Middle_Township,_New_Jersey" title="Middle Township, New Jersey">Middle Township</a> passing amendments that remove the need for permits,<a href="#cite_note-210">[210]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Atlantic_City,_New_Jersey" title="Atlantic City, New Jersey">Atlantic City</a> also repealing the permit requirement in April 2016.<a href="#cite_note-211">[211]</a> The constitutionality of anti-begging laws are contested. Bill Dressel of the New Jersey Coalition to End Homelessness explains that "it's a complicated area of the law – it's in flux".<a href="#cite_note-212">[212]</a> Recent judicial decisions in the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States" title="Supreme Court of the United States">US Supreme Court</a> have challenged local ordinances that prohibit or regulate panhandling in a way that is too vague. Since the decision of <a href="/wiki/Reed_v._Town_of_Gilbert" title="Reed v. Town of Gilbert">Reed v Town of Gilbert</a> the courts have largely struck down panhandling bans on the grounds that they inappropriately limit the content of the speech of individuals that are panhandling.<a href="#cite_note-213">[213]</a> Supporters of anti-begging laws argue that these ordinances do not curtail free speech as they only seek to regulate the manner of begging rather than what is being said.<a href="#cite_note-214">[214]</a> In 2015, John Fleming, a wheelchair-confined homeless man was arrested in <a href="/wiki/New_Brunswick,_New_Jersey" title="New Brunswick, New Jersey">New Brunswick</a> and charged with 'disorderly conduct' for sitting on the sidewalk with a sign that read "BROKE – PLEASE HELP – GOD BLESS YOU – THANK YOU".<a href="#cite_note-215">[215]</a><a href="#cite_note-216">[216]</a> The New Jersey chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (<a href="/wiki/American_Civil_Liberties_Union_of_New_Jersey" title="American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey">ACLU–NJ</a>) successfully challenged the local ordinance on the grounds it violated a person's <a href="/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="First Amendment to the United States Constitution">First Amendment</a> right to free expression.<a href="#cite_note-217">[217]</a> Deputy legal director of <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_Liberties_Union_of_New_Jersey" title="American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey">ACLU–NJ</a>, Jeanne LoCicero, explained that panhandling, from a constitutional standpoint, is no different from a Girl Scout troop soliciting cookie sales or collecting signatures on a petition.<a href="#cite_note-218">[218]</a> Thus, merely targeting panhandling is problematic as it seeks to prohibit the content of the speech and not the manner of speech. The City of New Brunswick agreed to settle the case by repealing the two ordinances – one that required a permit for begging and another banning unauthorised begging – as there were "legitimate concerns regarding the constitutionality of the Ordinances".<a href="#cite_note-219">[219]</a> In <a href="/wiki/Paterson,_New_Jersey" title="Paterson, New Jersey">Paterson</a>, alleged panhandlers arrested by police are given the chance, after being fingerprinted, to engage with social service programs that address their particular needs.<a href="#cite_note-220">[220]</a> Paterson's Police Director, Jerry Speziale, says that the initiative is a "new way to address those in need and enhance the quality of life for all".<a href="#cite_note-221">[221]</a> However, community views on panhandling is vexed, with some Paterson council members calling upon the police to crack down on those whom have dropped out of rehabilitation programs and resumed begging. Paterson Councilman, Alex Mendez, raised that it is an issue of weak enforcement and repeated targeting of panhandlers would eliminate the problem.<a href="#cite_note-222">[222]</a> An ongoing police crackdown on panhandling was launched in <a href="/wiki/Newark,_New_Jersey" title="Newark, New Jersey">Newark</a>, in July 2016, seeking to deter panhandling in busy areas of the city.<a href="#cite_note-223">[223]</a> Newark Police Director, Anthony Ambrose, said the days of leniency were over, "a panhandler definitely isn't a welcoming sight ...

Carey, against the City and State, arguing for a person's state constitutional "right to shelter". It was settled as a consent decree in August 1981. The City and State agreed to provide board and shelter to all homeless men who met the need standard for welfare or who were homeless by certain other standards. By 1983 this right was extended to homeless women. In March 2013, the New York City Department of Homeless Services reported that the sheltered homeless population consisted of:<a href="#cite_note-227">[227]</a> <ul><li>27,844 adults</li> <li>20,627 children</li> <li>48,471 total individuals</li></ul> According to the <a href="/wiki/Coalition_for_the_Homeless" title="Coalition for the Homeless">Coalition for the Homeless</a>, the homeless population of New York rose to an all-time high in 2011.

There was also a rise in the number of families relying on shelters, approximately 29,000. That is an increase of 80% from 2002.

This is because it's a safety issue and people are often hit at traffic lights when they turn green.<a href="#cite_note-good4utah.com-252">[252]</a> Homelessness and panhandling in Utah was a major issue in 2005, and the city implemented a 10-year plan hoping to eradicate homelessness by 2015.<a href="#cite_note-253">[253]</a> Though they have not completely stopped homelessness, the state has been extremely successful at reducing homelessness by 91%.<a href="#cite_note-npr.org-254">[254]</a> In 2005 there were over 1,932 chronically homeless persons in Utah and in 2015 this figure has dropped to a staggering 178 people.<a href="#cite_note-npr.org-254">[254]</a> However, unlike many other states across the U.S., the state government did not implement hardline laws to breakdown its homelessness problem through fining, prosecuting or 'moving on'; but implemented a simple solution to the complex problem which was the 'housing first' program.<a href="#cite_note-255">[255]</a> The primary focus was to put homeless people into housing first, and then help them deal with the underlying issues that made them became homeless from addictions, mental health and health care.<a href="#cite_note-link.springer.com-256">[256]</a> The last step is then to help them find employment. Studies have shown investing in homes for the homeless actually saves money in the long run.<a href="#cite_note-link.springer.com-256">[256]</a> It cost approximately $19,208 a year for the state to take care of its homeless people. This is through hospital visits, time in custody, shelter time and ambulance callouts.<a href="#cite_note-corvallishousingfirst.org-257">[257]</a> In comparison, it only cost approximately $7,800 a year for the state to provide a house and holistic case management.<a href="#cite_note-corvallishousingfirst.org-257">[257]</a> Critics say this solution may intensify laziness, however residents need to pay rent which is 30% of their income or $50 a month, whatever amount is greater.<a href="#cite_note-link.springer.com-256">[256]</a> A reason behind the Utah success in eliminating homelessness can be attributed to an array of factors.<a href="#cite_note-DN_2-258">[258]</a> Comparatively to other states such as California, Utah is quite small with a total population of 2,995,919 residents.

Specifically, it prohibits an aggressive manner which is explained as the persistent requesting of money after the person being solicited has made a negative response that induces some sort of fear or intimidation.<a href="#cite_note-Municode.com-263">[263]</a> It further prohibits intentionally blocking or interfering with the passage of another person, and abusive language or gestures.<a href="#cite_note-Municode.com-263">[263]</a> The city of Manassas also lists a number of intersections that prohibits panhandling within 150 feet.<a href="#cite_note-Municode.com-263">[263]</a> Other cities in Virginia vary in their regulations, for example, the City of Colonial Heights takes a preventative approach, although it does not state specifically how it would work to provide the prevention of street begging, whether through law enforcement or social assistance policies.<a href="#cite_note-264">[264]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Lee_County,_Virginia" title="Lee County, Virginia">Lee County, Virginia</a>, in Jonesville, has a much stronger approach in their legislation aiming to 'restrain and punish' begging.<a href="#cite_note-265">[265]</a> <a href="/wiki/Tazewell_County,_Virginia" title="Tazewell County, Virginia">Tazewell County, Virginia</a><a href="#cite_note-266">[266]</a> and the City of <a href="/wiki/Buena_Vista,_Virginia" title="Buena Vista, Virginia">Buena Vista, Virginia</a><a href="#cite_note-267">[267]</a> both merely state that begging is prohibited without expanding much further. In some counties in Virginia, there was discussion proposals to introduce permits for panhandlers. Permits proposed would be required for people verbally asking for donations, as well as actions and behaviours requesting donations within a public space.<a href="#cite_note-rules.utah-251">[251]</a> The idea has been quite contentious. Some media reports reflect calls for increased enforcement of laws against panhandlers,<a href="#cite_note-268">[268]</a> and others report that the ban on panhandling in public spaces is against the civil liberties of individuals, and unconstitutional as it infringes on the First Amendment.<a href="#cite_note-269">[269]</a> In regards to the permit proposal, community opinion was split, with some calling strongly for the implementation of a $25 permit that would need to be carried by panhandlers.<a href="#cite_note-Biegelsen-2007-270">[270]</a> The proposal is yet to be approved, with many opposing the idea, questioning where people would be able to get the money and documents required to purchase the permit, who would be allowed to attain a permit and who would be excluded, and how these permits would restrict the accessibility, and monitor the livelihoods of, panhandlers.<a href="#cite_note-Biegelsen-2007-270">[270]</a> A lot of the calls for increasing panhandling restrictions are reporting that it is for the safety of people engaging in panhandling, and for motorists in regards to begging on motorways.<a href="#cite_note-Biegelsen-2007-270">[270]</a> However, the Arlington Police Department in Virginia reportedly discouraged citizens from giving to panhandlers in the area, in that "there's no telling what the cash will be used for".<a href="#cite_note-ARLnow.com-2015-271">[271]</a> While many are discouraging giving to panhandlers on motorways due to the context of 'risk', they also appear to portray an underlining negative bias and view of illegitimacy toward people who engage in panhandling. As police in some counties cannot directly arrest someone for begging, the Arlington Police Department note that they do arrest panhandlers for other offences for jaywalking and other traffic related offences.<a href="#cite_note-ARLnow.com-2015-271">[271]</a> This was mirrored in a media article in Chesterfield, VA, where it was reported in 2011 that 14 panhandlers were arrested for steeping on to the street under traffic offenses.<a href="#cite_note-272">[272]</a> The laws and regulations in Virginia are incredibly varied, making it difficult for panhandlers to know their rights and legitimacy in the area, particularly if one does not have access to the resources in order to find this information. Even within the legislation, the definitions and language tend to be of a broad and very subjective nature. There are also conflicting motivations for further restricting panhandling in the area, with discourses around both the safety as well as the legitimacy of panhandling taking place, particularly in the local media. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Washington_state">Washington state</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=50" title="Edit section: Washington state">edit</a>]</div> Begging is protected under the First Amendment, but certain Washington cities have attempted to find ambiguities in this right to freedom of speech, while others use more discretion when it comes to panhandling. The city of Tacoma has passed laws which have quashed any form of panhandling in public forums. Panhandling is banned anywhere which is within 15 feet of ATMs, bus stops, pay phones, parked cars, gas stations, outdoor stations, cafes and carwashes within the city.<a href="#cite_note-Crosscut-2007-273">[273]</a> More specifically, it is illegal on buses, freeway ramps and on intersections. In the hours between sunset and sunrise, it is prohibited entirely. Those who are found to be in breach of this ordinance could be penalized with 90 days in jail or be fined $1000.<a href="#cite_note-Crosscut-2007-273">[273]</a> While the city of Arlington's laws are not as strict, with panhandling being banned anywhere within 300 feet of these certain areas, violators too can be met with the same harsh forms of punishment.<a href="#cite_note-274">[274]</a> A more controversial law was passed in October 2015, when the city of Everett amended previous code which categorised 'aggressive panhandling' as a misdemeanor.<a href="#cite_note-HeraldNet.com-2015-275">[275]</a> This law prevented begging 'in a manner that hinders or obstructs the free passage of any person in a public place' or begging that 'intentionally causes or attempts to cause another person to reasonably fear imminent bodily harm or the commission of a criminal act upon their person, or upon property in their immediate possession.'<a href="#cite_note-276">[276]</a> The passing of the law has been met with mass condemnation, with many critics saying it criminalizes homelessness, while the ACLU called it 'unconstitutional, ineffective and unnecessarily costly and punitive.'<a href="#cite_note-HeraldNet.com-2015-275">[275]</a> Further opposition to criminalizing begging was demonstrated when the city of Lakewood's anti-panhandling ordinance was deemed unconstitutional in the case City of Lakewood v. Robert W. Willis.<a href="#cite_note-277">[277]</a> Laws were considered 'overbroad' by the courts as they restrict panhandling in several locations without seeing if there is actually obstruction of traffic. This case has also led to a discussion surrounding whether to charge an individual with obstructing traffic or with begging. The city of <a href="/wiki/Olympia,_Washington" title="Olympia, Washington">Olympia</a> has constructed several <a href="/wiki/Tiny_home" class="mw-redirect" title="Tiny home">tiny home</a> villages as temporary or permanent housing solutions, such as <a href="/wiki/Quixote_Village" title="Quixote Village">Quixote Village</a>.<a href="#cite_note-278">[278]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="City_of_Seattle">City of Seattle</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Homelessness_in_the_United_States_by_state&action=edit&section=51" title="Edit section: City of Seattle">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Homelessness_in_Seattle" title="Homelessness in Seattle">Homelessness in Seattle</a></div> The city of Seattle's stance on panhandling is not as hardline as many other cities in Washington. For example, in 2010 an amendment was sponsored which would enable stronger panhandling laws that included a regulation against 'intimidating words and gestures' and obstructing someone's walking path.<a href="#cite_note-Murphy-2014-279">[279]</a> A $50 fine was proposed to be the punishment for anyone found to be 'aggressively panhandling.' While the bill was initially passed, Mayor Mike McGinn vetoed the bill. Yet despite this opposition to a call for certain regulations on panhandling, Mayor Ed Murray believed that it is imperative that existing laws are enforced. These laws were enacted in 1987 and they are effectively an ordinance against aggressive panhandling.

Rather, the most relevant factors in the homelessness crisis are rent prices and vacancy rates. Colburn and Aldern note that some urban areas with very high rates of poverty (Detroit, Miami-Dade County, Philadelphia) have among the lowest homelessness rates in the country, and some places with relatively low poverty rates (Santa Clara County, San Francisco, Boston) have relatively high rates of homelessness. The same pattern holds for unemployment rates: "Homelessness is abundant," the authors write, "only in areas with robust labor markets and low rates of unemployment—booming coastal cities."</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=The+Atlantic&rft.atitle=The+Obvious+Answer+to+Homelessness+-+And+why+everyone%27s+ignoring+it&rft.date=2022-12-12&rft.aulast=Demsas&rft.aufirst=Jerusalem&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theatlantic.com%2Fmagazine%2Farchive%2F2023%2F01%2Fhomelessness-affordable-housing-crisis-democrats-causes%2F672224%2F&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHomelessness+in+the+United+States+by+state" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-Groppe-2024-8">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Groppe-2024_8-0">a</a> <a href="#cite_ref-Groppe-2024_8-1">b</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFGroppe2024" class="citation news cs1">Groppe, Maureen (June 28, 2024). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/06/28/supreme-court-decision-bans-homeless-encampments/73677194007/">"In major decision, Supreme Court allows cities to ban homeless camps"</a>.
