AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 10 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO HOMELESSNESS.

Summary

The legislation amends Delaware’s homelessness code to define what counts as adequate indoor shelter and to guarantee that people experiencing homelessness may use public areas for basic life‑sustaining activities. It also creates an affirmative defense for criminal charges related to those activities and allows civil lawsuits against governments that violate the new rules. The goal is to protect the rights and property of homeless residents while ensuring they are not forced onto the streets without options.
