The Josephine County judge issued the temporary restraining order after a legal challenge from Disability Rights Oregon and the Oregon Law Center.

A Josephine Count judge has granted a temporary restraining order against the City of Grants Pass after a lawsuit was filed last week to protect the city’s homeless population. Disability Rights Oregon and the Oregon Law Center filed the emergency suit to keep the city from “forcing homeless residents with disabilities

An Oregon judge has ordered the city at the heart of a major U.S. Supreme Court homelessness ruling to pause enforcement of its camping rules for 14 days.

On Friday morning, homeless residents dragged tarps and carried piles on their backs, heaping their belongings just outside the fence. They were given until 9 a.m. to get their possessions off the city-owned site.

A Portland-based nonprofit claims the city’s ordinances discriminate against people with disabilities and violate state law.

A small Oregon city is facing a fresh lawsuit over its homeless camping rules. Disability Rights Oregon sued Grants Pass on Thursday.

Disability Rights Oregon and the Oregon Law Center filed an emergency lawsuit against the City of Grants Pass this morning, saying the city's recent closure of two homeless encampments is putting unhoused people with disabilities at risk.

The City Council ordered one of the only two sites for legal camping closed in the middle of January, in the middle of bitterly cold weather, without any regard for where people would live,” the suit says.

Just months after receiving national attention as the plaintiff of a Supreme Court case over its homeless policies, the small southern Oregon city of Grants Pass is being now accused of forcing hundreds of homeless people into one small campsite.

Last week, a new Grants Pass city council closed the larger of two city-owned properties that had been designated as sanctioned campsites for homeless people.
