“With so few options for housing, almost 500 of Miami-Dade’s 2,200 registered sex offenders are homeless, according to law enforcement data.

They’re also not allowed in homeless shelters. “You have one law that says you can’t live inside and another law that says you can’t live outside,” says Valerie Jonas, an attorney representing sex offenders in a lawsuit against the county brought by the ACLU and Legal Services of Greater Miami.”
