Read the 6-point 'Homeless Bill of Rights'

The City-County Council has voted to establishing a "Homeless Bill of Rights" that would outlaw discrimination against those who lack a permanent address. Modeled after a Rhode Island law, it would enact the following protections:

1. The right to move freely in public spaces, including sidewalks, parks, buses and buildings.

2. The right to equal treatment by city agencies.

3. The right to emergency medical care.

4. The right to vote, register to vote and receive documentation needed for a photo ID.

5. The right to protection from disclosure of private records, as well as the right to confidentiality already protected by federal law.

6. The right to the same "reasonable expectation of privacy" for their personal property as someone with a permanent residence has.
