Opponents of a measure that could penalize unsheltered residents who inhabit public spaces failed to stop its passage at Louisville Metro Council Thursday. Now they're calling on the mayor to overturn it.
The ordinance restricts unsheltered people from sleeping on city property, whether outdoors or in their cars, and bans homeless encampments that the city says pose a risk to housed residents’ safety. It also allows Louisville Metro to confiscate personal belongings if they’re in public walkways.
