In the decision, Judge Hill said that Pendleton\u2019s previous ordinances were \u201ca shadowed return to fragmentary, exclusionary practices more reminiscent of the 1700\u2019s.\u201d The judge also noted that \u201cit took Plaintiffs\u2019 action to effect change\u201d to the city\u2019s policies.<\/p><p class=\"elementToProof\">The plaintiffs were five women ranging from 40 to 63 years old who have been Pendleton residents for years.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"elementToProof\">\u201cSara, Beth, Laura, Lee, and Wilynda will continue to speak out for fairness,\u201d said Allison Nasson, legal fellow at Oregon Law Center. \u201cUnder Oregon law, cities cannot pass blanket bans on sheltering, or treat housed and unhoused residents differently. This procedural decision does not address whether Pendleton\u2019s current policies meet Oregon\u2019s requirements.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"elementToProof\">Under current ordinances 4052 and 4053 as well as previous city ordinances, the women face fines, jail time, and year-long exclusions from their home city for trying to stay safe outside and protect themselves from the weather, including extreme heat, smoke, or freezing conditions. For instance, tents are banned everywhere in the city between 7 am and 8 pm every day.<\/p><p class=\"elementToProof\">\u201cThe weather can make you sick if you don\u2019t have any kind of protection. It can kill you,\u201d said Sara Shaver, one of the plaintiffs. \u201cEven though tents are banned everywhere in the city under the new rules\u2013just like they were under the old rules\u2013I\u2019ll have to use one. It\u2019s disappointing that the court didn\u2019t do anything to help us. We\u2019re just trying to survive.\u201d<\/p><p class=\"elementToProof\">The City had previously reached a tentative settlement agreement with the plaintiffs that would have created more fair policies, waived fines, and approved funding to address homelessness. The City Council voted against the settlement and chose to continue the lawsuit on June 29.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"elementToProof\">\u201cCities around the state have found that housing assistance, shelter and services are more effective and humane ways to address homelessness than punishment,\u201d said Allison Nasson, legal fellow. \u201cHomelessness is challenging for cities, and brutal for the people living it day-to-day. Lasting, effective solutions have to balance the needs of all involved and follow Oregon\u2019s laws.\u201d<\/p><p class=\"elementToProof\">In 2024, <a id=\"OWA745b76b4-6d43-47ae-f9ad-835df740d900\" class=\"OWAAutoLink\" title=\"https:\/\/linkprotect.cudasvc.com\/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.unitedforalice.org%2fcounty-reports%2foregon&amp;c=E,1,NcKDXM4nyRjFfmsCsYiKtJqm4uLT4rlxMyzSxFLMMEDcZOpWcnf_GO0FRgoF-8e5wY_X1bLWYBDzPXj-e-_fTzj_yw4JpMokg5gbNw42jB5fQo4KATzrTP0,&amp;typo=1\" href=\"https:\/\/linkprotect.cudasvc.com\/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.unitedforalice.org%2fcounty-reports%2foregon&amp;c=E,1,NcKDXM4nyRjFfmsCsYiKtJqm4uLT4rlxMyzSxFLMMEDcZOpWcnf_GO0FRgoF-8e5wY_X1bLWYBDzPXj-e-_fTzj_yw4JpMokg5gbNw42jB5fQo4KATzrTP0,&amp;typo=1\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"2\" data-outlook-id=\"20a061da-5b4d-47e2-9a5a-8383fd3d5884\"><u>43% of people living in Umatilla County<\/u><\/a> could not afford their basic needs, according to the United Way.
