No, but we should assess the current shelters and housing to see why they may be refusing to use them.
@9RCJ67TNew Democratic9mos9MO
How could one possibly know that a homeless individual that is sleeping on public property refused shelter?
@9RCCQTBNew Democratic9mos9MO
Yes, but only in designated areas, and provide access to safely administer drugs in the case of addiction.
@9RC97PLNew Democratic9mos9MO
Yes, but only in designated spaces between certain hours, and which are monitored for illegal activities and continuously cleaned for public use.
@9NHSNFXNew Democratic11mos11MO
This is a loaded question, a lot of shelters are dangerous, and require one to have no drugs on them. It's incredibly difficult to just stop taking them, so these people have refused housing because they had to. We need better and more accessable mental health care
@99CJGGJNew Democratic2yrs2Y
No but help create programs to help these people maybe create a temporary area where to get food they need to be back in the area at a certain time, or some form of incentive to help them get off the street and help themselves without going to places they don’t wish to be while also getting small forms of help that little by little could help many
@9YJFPW2New Democratic5mos5MO
This question is weird - how are you going to identify those who have refused? How are you going to define reasonable housing opportunities? I don’t think Canadians should be sleeping on public property , but instead of villainizing them we should be investing in programs, taxing foreign investors on vacancy and purchases, and subsidizing new bukldinh
@9F9X6D4New Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, most shelters have conditions worse than public property
@95TL3LMNew Democratic3yrs3Y
It depends on why they are refusing
@95SJWGRNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Create a place where they can camp with proper social services/assistance or possibly look into affordable tiny home villages
@93KS3GS3yrs3Y
If homeless individuals are refusing available resources, then the government should be taking a long hard look at those resources and figuring out why. More and better resources need to be made available.
@AztraeiaNew Democratic3yrs3Y
No, and provide unconditional housing for all.
@8XQSPSJNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, if there is an actual reasoning with proof
@99NY5NYNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes as long as their not openly harrassing young people
@99LCH2FNew Democratic2yrs2Y
No but we should make more programs that provide what individuals need.
@99476QSNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes, only if it is not interrupting businesses and walkways.
@98SL5S5New Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes but also create more accepting programs for these people, they need to be treated like people rather than animals
@985XDY2New Democratic2yrs2Y
In an accessible public area with proper facilities provided bring in a portable shower toilet facility. Waste removal, etc. Pinpoint the needs of the individuals provide appropriate social programs quickly
@962SL863yrs3Y
Government should house all of the unhoused. Period.
