Zoning Alternatives to Penalizing Homelessness
January 2026
This issue of Zoning Practice explores regulatory alternatives to criminalizing homelessness. Following a discussion of the state of homelessness and the costs of criminalization, it outlines zoning and land-use-based solutions that balance the rights of the unhoused with a jurisdiction’s duty to promote public health, safety, and welfare.
Zoning Practice analyzes trends and spotlights innovation in local land use and development regulation. It is a valuable digital resource for:
- Planners and land use attorneys responsible for drafting or administering zoning and other land use and development regulations
- Emerging professionals interested in learning more about plan implementation
