A federal judge last week ruled that a Colorado church can continue offering temporary shelter to homeless people after the town of Castle Rock leveraged its zoning code to put a stop to the charity program.
In May, the Church of the Rock filed a lawsuit against the town, asserting that the town's prohibition of the shelter program violates both the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.
