This advocacy manual is a companion piece to No Safe Place. It is meant to be an additional resource for legal and policy advocates working on the ground to combat criminalization in their communities. The manual begins with an Executive Summary that focuses on trends in criminalization case law. We then focus on public advocacy to combat criminalization. This section focuses on how to calculate the cost of criminalization of homelessness in your community, how to assess criminalization’s impact on homeless persons and how to use that information in advocacy. Next we examine legal strategies for challenging criminalization ordinances. This section is followed by case summaries from criminalization litigation since the publication of our last manual in 2011. The manual concludes with model police policies for interacting with homeless persons and cleaning public spaces. We hope that advocates can use our report and this manual to bring a national perspective to their work and make connections between their efforts and those of advocates in different programs across the country.
