Sleep

This podcast is called “A Place to Sleep,” and so far, we’ve put a big emphasis on the word place. In this episode we focus on sleep and the consequences of a lousy night's rest.  New episodes every Tuesday.

Portland

Does it matter that Portland has the national spotlight for visible tent encampments and open drug use? Probably not for the people most affected by public sleeping rules in PDX.

Grants Pass

This city in Southern Oregon was sued for its local laws that prevented people from camping anywhere on public property. Now people without housing can stay at almost any park in Grants Pass, but they have to move every three days.  Plus, hear the entire theme song, "Safe Shelter": https://youtu.be/7KEVw1WWXks?si=WqJm4jIBnY5r2J-O [https://youtu.be/7KEVw1WWXks?si=WqJm4jIBnY5r2J-O] See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Brownsville

The tiny city in Oregon raises some big constitutional questions about where to allow people without housing to sleep (Brownsville put them on Main Street to make them a spectacle). A look at how we got here, from Martin v. Boise, Johnson v.Grants Pass and the 8th Amendment to Oregon HB 3115. Read more about the decisions by city elected leaders in Brownsville, and the rest of the series, here [https://omnystudio.com/p/a-place-to-sleep/clips]. New episodes every Tuesday.
