Legislation Sanctioning Tiny House Encampments
• Federal: RLUIPA - Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act The land use-related provisions of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000
(RLUIPA) prohibit state and local governments from regulating land use in a manner that: discriminates against or among religious institutions, 42 U.S.C. ' 2000cc(b); or imposes a substantial burden on religious exercise, unless the regulation is the least restrictive means of serving a compelling government interest.
• Washington State:
ESHB 1956 - Authorizing religious organizations to host temporary encampments for homeless persons on property owned or controlled by a religious organization.
• City of Seattle: o Existing ordinance allowing churches to host encampments
o New ordinance passed on March 30, 2015 allowing 3 encampments of up to 100 residents each on public or private land (without church host).
o City Council Member Kshama Sawant sponsored budget action to fund existing and new tent encampments in the 2015-16 budget.
o Mayor Murray declares state of emergency due to homelessness on Nov 2 and City Council allocates $7.3 million in 2016 budget to address problem.
