South Bend’s leaders are considering the creation of a “Homeless Bill of Rights.”

Wednesday, the public was given the chance to be heard on the Common Council’s idea to create the draft. The meeting was also a discussion to examine similar bills in other communities and see how they might contribute to a program in South Bend.

The council attorney says there could be challenges to passing such a bill, and ABC 57 reports that one solution could be adding a clarification of “housing status” to the existing Bill of Rights. Mayor Buttigieg is also waiting to form his opinion.

Additional public input meetings are expected.
