In June, the Supreme Court ruled that punishing homeless people for sleeping on public property does not violate the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.

So, they say that "We have provided enough resources and money so that there should be enough to provide shelters for all of the homeless".

Shelters are saying they didn't get enough resources. That means either someone fucked up the calculation, did a bad job in estomating how much is needed, or they tunneled the money from the program. People responsible for distributing and planning the funds for the program should be the ones criminalized, not the homeless for whom apparently isn't enough space.
