Criminalizing homelessness does nothing to solve the problem of lack of housing and shelter, <br />and only punishes the most vulnerable for their mere existence. Furthermore, such a law will invariably invite a <br />well -deserved legal challenge. I urge you not to pass this ordinance. <br />Sincerely, <br />Emily Childs <br />i <br />
