North Carolina clergy say House Bill 437 criminalizes homelessness in North Carolina

North Carolina clergy oppose House Bill 437, which bans unauthorized camping on public property and creates new drug-related felonies near shelters, arguing it criminalizes homelessness without addressing its root causes. Governor Josh Stein vetoed the bill, but House Republicans plan to override the veto, despite concerns about funding and potential litigation against local governments.
