Homelessness and Incarceration’s Revolving Door in Baltimore City

Source:
Center for Poverty Solutions

In order to examine the extent of the connection between homelessness and incarceration, the Center for Poverty Solutions collaborated with the Open Society Institute to conduct a survey of the homeless population in Baltimore City in the fall of 2002. The survey research focused on three specific questions: 1) Does homelessness lead to incarceration? 2) Does incarceration lead to homelessness? 3) What services are needed to assist the homeless population in Baltimore City?

This report details the results of the survey, calling on the city of Baltimore to decriminalize homelessness.
