~ Spokane, WA- Mayor Lisa Brown has released a statement in response to the Washington Supreme Court's ruling on the Jewels Helping Hands and Ben Stuckart v. Brian Hansen and City of Spokane case. The ruling offers clarity on the legal boundaries of local initiative powers and reinforces the distinction between legislative and administrative actions.

According to Communications Director Erin Hut, the City's unlawful camping ordinance, which was in place before Proposition 1, is still being enforced as shown by data from the Spokane Police Department. However, Mayor Brown acknowledges that enforcement alone will not solve homelessness.

In light of this, the city has announced plans to use opioid settlement funds to create more sobering beds and is working with Spokane County to expand the crisis stabilization facility. The High Utilizer Initiative and expansion of the CARES Team from the Spokane Fire Department have also shown success in addressing homelessness.

Furthermore, Mayor Brown recognizes that lack of affordable housing is a major contributor to homelessness and is implementing additional strategies to increase housing supply.

The city's legal team is currently reviewing the Court's opinion in detail and will work together to determine a path forward that aligns with the Court's guidance and serves the best interests of the community. As stated by Mayor Brown, "We will be working together to thoughtfully chart a path forward that reflects the Court's guidance, as well as the best interests of our community."
