Explain the purpose behind the establishment of a homeless court

What will be an ideal response?


Many homeless people have outstanding misdemeanor criminal warrants. To best resolve these warrants, the homeless court recognizes two key factors that are not typically taken into consideration by a traditional court. First, many homeless people are content to remain living on the streets. Second, most homeless people lack the financial means to pay court imposed fines. To promote the homeless person's reintegration back into society, the homeless courts can assist the offender in finding gainful employment, or even receiving some type of social service assistance.
