Homeless shelters need drastic expansion and improvement, and hostile architecture should be banned.
@B44TC984wks4W
They shouldn’t be denied in the first place. There needs to be a better plan put into place for homeless people so they’re not suffering outside and they’re receiving the support they need to recover
@B43QV9M4wks4W
No, those who refuse shelters do so for a very good reason. We need to get rid of shelters and instead implement housing programs that scatter homeless people and integrate them into society so one or two apartments in a normal everyday apartment type of thing. This is the far safer solution, as well as putting those in medical distress into appropriate medical facilities.
@B29K2JKNew Democratic3mos3MO
they should be allowed in nature encampments, but around public places no. the people need housing either way
@9QYXXLF9mos9MO
No, more shelters need to be in place with higher levels of security to address security and safety concerns that may cause some to refuse shelter
@9M9JQPF11mos11MO
There were homeless people sleeping near our apartment building and causing damage to the property and were harassing peope. This made feel unsafe to leave...
@9KXLTZH1yr1Y
If they refused a house the no they shouldn't be allowed to but if they refused a shelter then yes because shelters can often be dangerous
@9JQ8T5J1yr1Y
Yes, but establish areas that will be safe for the homeless population to have their encampments, & enact more social programs to provide food, clothing, & medicine.
@9JBTHNJ1yr1Y
Groups need to be formed that consider the safety of the individual and the public, and make judgements accordingly after deep scrutiny.
@9DDZBL42yrs2Y
only if the available shelter and housing is unsafe both physically and mentally for the individual.
@99PFB4Y2yrs2Y
This question doesn’t address the actual problem at hand. Homeless people are still people and they need to exist somewhere. Shelters can be unsafe and housing is not available to everyone. The question should be what needs to be done so there are no people who need to encamp on public property.
Yes if we don't provide space for their pet, belongings and intend in moving them out of the area they feel safe in
@9T75DY57mos7MO
I think they should be educated on the dangers of the encampment and show that they only have two options which is to use their available resources or accept that it may be a criminal offence.
@9F9YT9G2yrs2Y
Create safer and more inviting temporary small housing facilities close to services but away from park areas.
@9F5KMPV2yrs2Y
Homelessness people should be given a place to stay. It is not okay for anyone to live in the streets. Everyone deserves a safe home for free even if they can't work for health reasons. If a homeless person is forced to sleep in public on a bench they shouldn't be punished. It's not their fault they have no shelter.
@9D75VZW2yrs2Y
make communities based around the homeless designed to ease them back into a life within society
@999FLJJ2yrs2Y
make a space where it is ok for them to do that.
Yes, a safe, secure location centralized for homeless encampments supported with health care, food, clothing. And be able to move freely as all citizens can.
@95B55GC3yrs3Y
No and put them on social no optional program to get them reinserted on productivity life.
@959KT8K3yrs3Y
just leave them be if they arnt doing anything ilegal or bad
@92YKHH63yrs3Y
No, homeless shelters should not refuse homeless people
@92CVBXS3yrs3Y
Yes, at a location deemed appropriate by local authorities
@8ZQGFZB3yrs3Y
Yes. However, encampments should be restricted to sparsely used industrial areas. No public pathways, parks, or streets. Police can patrol more frequently, the city can provide waste management bins. There truly are no good options here, but constantly rousting the groups only moves the problem. Contain, monitor, remove problem individuals, offer services, and try to remain compassionate.
@AztraeiaNew Democratic3yrs3Y
No, and provide unconditional housing for all.
@8YWP2693yrs3Y
@8YQC8J73yrs3Y
No, improve quality of shelters
@8YJRSXRConservative3yrs3Y
No, but we should try to find alternative. Typically homeless people have mental health issues or addiction issues.
@B46P6K94wks4W
It is humane to ensure people have shelter.
@9CYP5K82yrs2Y
Homeless individuals deserve a [proper shelter to live in and we should not dehumanize them. We can't let them stay on the street.
@9BPSPM62yrs2Y
If they have refused services offered a compromise should be reached on the situation
@99LLLZK2yrs2Y
I think that they should be allowed to sleep on public property but not set up camp in an area such as a park.
@99GX7DK2yrs2Y
No but create programs to rehabilitate and reintegrate and provide jobs for them
@99F856T2yrs2Y
where else they finna sleep?
@999LF3J2yrs2Y
homeless people that have refused care but some may have a good reason to have refused it, maybe a feeling of safety or something else so for me its kind of a 50/50
@999KZH72yrs2Y
no because if a homeless person is camping on my property or anyone else because they could possible steal something from there.
@995CDTW2yrs2Y
No, and instead increase support programs that deal with drug addiction and mental illness.
@99569PL2yrs2Y
add more homeless shelters at the old prisons and re-vamp them
@9945P2L2yrs2Y
No, because those dumbasses already declined a warm shelter
@9945HT22yrs2Y
NO, but they should not be arrested for doing so
@988T5HN2yrs2Y
Depends on why they refused, if they were being threatened then I feel they should be able to sleep somewhere safer
@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
@9829VV5Conservative2yrs2Y
Only if it is out of sight of the general public
@97V8GSD2yrs2Y
@8ZG7HYG3yrs3Y
As long as they don't harm anybody or damage property and if it's at night.
if they are ok with getting shot
@965TLJV3yrs3Y
Yes, but in designated areas close to resources, and monitored by outreach teams.
