The Safer Kentucky Act Is Making Homelessness Worse. Across America, new laws are punishing homeless people simply for existing. In Kentucky, the Safer Kentucky Act makes it illegal to sit, lie down, or carry something as basic as a blanket in public. Homeless people are being fined, arrested, and jailed, even when they have nowhere else to live.

We went to Louisville to see the impact firsthand. We spoke with people who’ve been cited for sleeping, threatened with jail, and forced to move from place to place every few days, losing their belongings again and again. One elderly woman told us how a police officer dragged her down a set of stairs. We also highlight the story of a pregnant woman who was given a citation while she was in labor.

This isn’t just happening in Kentucky. Since the Grants Pass Supreme Court ruling, over 260 cities have passed similar laws. These policies don’t reduce homelessness; they make it worse.

But we’ve also seen what works: housing-first programs, low-barrier shelters, and supportive services that restore dignity, save lives, and save taxpayer money.

We’re wasting lives and taxpayer dollars on failed policies. The only real way forward is housing and support, not handcuffs.

More arrests won’t end homelessness. Housing will.

About Invisible People:

There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, childhood trauma, lack of a living wage, or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.

We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.

Ces images ont été tournées dans les Pyrénées en septembre 2019, prés du col du Tourmalet à Barèges.
L'altisurface est aussi nommée Castillon de la Laquette, référence LF6528.
Très pentue, et finalement relativement longue compte tenu de cette pente, il faut bien prendre garde à conserver suffisamment d'énergie pour parvenir jusqu'à la plateforme et ne pas rester bloqué dans la pente. Vous allez voir que pour notre premier atterrissage sur cette altisurface, il nous a manqué un petit quelque-chose qui fait toute la différence.
Merci à l'équipage du Tetras VX, Roger et Annie, qui nous a aidé à nous sortir de cette situation inconfortable, Annie n'hésitant pas à sacrifier sa mise en plis dans un élan de pure générosité.
Pour corriger le tir, lors du tour de piste suivant, le point d'aboutissement a été choisi un peu plus loin. Il ne faudrait pas non plus , à l'inverse, arriver trop vite sur la plate-forme, car elle n'est pas très grande et peu accueillante à son extrémité. Tout est donc dans le dosage, mais c'est bien plus facile quand on s'est déjà posé une fois.

American men, southern men and Muslim men have lost their way in what it means to be a man.
Masculinity has been labeled as toxic masculinity in all its various forms and there is a battle being waged against men being masculine.
Return to Islam. Return to manhood. Return to Truth.
