Saratoga Camping Ban Ordinance and Its Impact on the Unhoused

In July 2025 Saratoga Springs passed a camping ban ordinance marking a major escalation in criminalizing homelessness. Dio (Dee-yo) Kaufman (Coughman) is a housing advocate and member of a coalition of activists who are challenging the Saratoga Springs Camping Ban Ordinance, while advocating for tenants and the unhoused to know their rights in court. They/She discuss this piece of legislation with Lennox Apudo.
