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

I agree with option 3. It makes total sense as there are many that desperately need it, but officials are discouraged because they always seem to be approaching ones not interested. I think if they don't take on those offers, it's a bad sign for the intent of those people. As such, these individuals if it comes up consistently should be detained in some way (not prison, that's overkill) but some sort of space with professional oversight, as they will probably be safer there than on the streets

Yes and create programs to understand why they refuse shelter and what can we do to reinsert them into the society

Yes because many of the homeless hostels are unsafe for non drug using people, it's not as simple as yes or no, for many people they feel unsafe & many hostels are not managed properly & use security sraff instead of properly trained social care & / community trained staff

Homeless people who don’t stay in shelters provided say that it is dangerous with drugs, theft and crime attacks etc so there should be a more thought out solution for homeless shelters

With the amount of money surplus there should be improved accommodation and facilities for homeless people with an out door shelter area that is safe for those who can no longer sleep inside for many reasons

Why are they not choosing to avail of shelter. The whole system for the homeless needs to be addressed. People will not stay where they don't feel safe

Create more ‘homeless safe havens’ areas to which there isn’t harsh, anti-homeless architecture. This has to be done in addition to increase housing opportunities for everyone
