Should homeless individuals be allowed to sleep or encamp on public property if they have refused available shelter or housing?

Yes, and create more social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine

Yes

No, and make it a criminal offense

Yes, Only if they are complaining about not getting help. If they want to struggle on the streets and continue their life and build it up from there more on them. However we can't have people sleeping in public areas if the area that they are sleeping in is already crammed and full with people.

Its a bit of a more or less situation. If you see a homeless person, just mind your business. It isn't that hard.

Im stuck in between yes or no. Yes because they deserve somewhere to stay but no because they refused in the first place

I respect that their in the hot sun asking for money, but I honestly believe it'd be better to find a minimum wage job ] or even landscaping it pays pretty good.

Heavily insist them to seek a local homeless shelter but don’t force them to.

No, because people all ready have stereotypes on homeless people so having them be in public property may make people uncomfortable.

We should provide spaces for tent communities that are limited in number of residents throughout the metro. We should create jobs of caretakers and be open to promoting from incredible individuals from within those communities themselves.

Yes as long as it doesn't interfere with pedestrian and tourist traffic.

As long as its private property like next to the highway. If its at someones home, it shouldn't be okay.

no they need to go in the homes

Depends on the persons situation of being homeless and where they are staying

No, but shelters and housing need to have guards.

No, but create more programs to provide helpful services

Make designated legal public sleep/encamp areas with safety patrol, first aid, public bathroom and outreach services nearby

Yes, current shelter options for homeless people are often unsafe or ineffective for the number of people that need to be assisted. We should increase funding or reform current funding to better support homeless people.

It’s okay but if they litter needles and drugs it’s not okay

Yes, but they must be required be neat and clean.

Provided the shelter offered is safe and adequate, no. Also, create more social programs so being unhoused would be extremely rare. If there is a major encampment in a city, the city needs to look at its policies.

Yes to Shelters and options. But not sleep on public property

Make housing more accessible

No, create a designated area

Yes, as long as their presence doesn't comprise the safety of people or the surrounding environment

yes, but only in some area's and not everywhere

No, because they have refused help.

Depending on the public place, parks yes, restaurants no.

I think they should be able to sleep on public property to an extent. If they aren't bothering anybody and aren't taking up space to where they are blocking anything, I don't see a problem with that.

It realllly depends on the circumstances...

If they would do so in a way that wouldn't affect the business's traffic.

not if the owners dont want them to

If, like children, they're not competent to make decisions or care for themselves, arrange supervised living arrangements; asylums, halfway houses, &c.

No, but music to create more social programs to provide the right support.

If they have refused help and the property owner disagrees, then no. There shouldnt be a fine.

Yes, but make it a bit regulated.

Only if you have a good reason and have prrof i think that if the individuals house got burned down or somthing to make them to the point there living off the streets for somthing not their fault.

If the property owners allow it.

Yes, but in some areas when you have more homeless and more and more keep coming in, the city itself will slowly go corrupt.

yes as long as they are not disturbing the people or the area around them.

i depend what type of public property it is

there should be better options for the homeless besides a shelter or public we should have more resources for them

Yes, as long as they're not disturbing the peace

Designate city or county areas for them to safely encamp while creating social programs to provide free food, clothing, medicine, and mental health care.

They should all be offered shelter care

So far, the homeless people I’ve met haven’t been offered housing and there is not enough places for them to go…so if not on public land, where should they go when there’s no where else to sleep? So we make them criminals for existing? WWJD? For real?!

No, should be taken to mental health institutions.

There should be designated parks where they can go.

If they are in the woods and are not causing any trouble, it should be acceptible. If they are in the city, no.
