Abstract
The article highlights the issue of homelessness in the U.S., which creates health, safety, and financial complications for municipalities. It is reported that many municipalities use ordinances to restrict the actions of homeless populations, including panhandling. It further provides a timely example of the potential liability cities may face if they fail to update their panhandling statutes, using Fernandez v. St. Louis County as a case study.
