Lexington homeless advocates and homeless persons will gather in Lexington Monday to rally against a bill that will become law after Governor Beshear’s veto was overridden April 12. Ginny Ramsey is director of the Catholic Action Center, which will host the noon event. She said despite improvements to House Bill 5, which supporters titled the Safer Kentucky Act, the bill still makes homelessness a crime.
“In general, it is still as criminalizing as ever. It is impacting so many people who are not criminals and are not addicted and are not mentally ill.”
