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

No

Yes

No, and make it a criminal offense

offer a program that rehabilitates them while also providing basic needs and work opportunities.

No. We need to create homes for them.

No, however, the government should invest on social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine. The government must find a way to relocate homeless individuals.

No, instead offer them a livelihood so that they can make an income for their living.

mixed cause ive seen californian shelters more of concentration camp less of actual home

No, homeless individuals are not allowed to sleep nor encamp on public property since they chose to refuse available shelter or housing that was offered to them.

We should convince them more to live in available shelter/housing provided by the government. In a good manner of course, not threatening them. This is for their own good and safety. Also, for a clean and organized society.

Yes, but not for too long, it'll be temporary until they find jobs and house to rent and income to survive. We can still make programs for them and donations

No, but shelters and housing should be built where there is economic activity instead of the outskirts.

No, but the government should create programs that help these homeless individuals access job opportunities near their houses.

yes but add opportunities like jobs

No, make it a forceful act of giving them shelter and still provide adequate rights that wouldn't make them feel suffocated or restricted.

Give homeless individuals livelihood opportunity and seminars and compel them to accept the housing or shelter

Give the proper housing

No, must be give and provide proper housing to them

no, i will give proper housing to them

No, but construct public-operated or public-funded homeless shelters open to all.

No but give them social programs to ensure their livelihood, food and give them an actual relocation area where jobs are easily available.

Government needs to give homeless people a shelter.

How might a community's approach to homelessness reflect its values, and what would you suggest as an ideal solution for all parties involved?

In your opinion, should comfort and personal preference play a role in whether people without homes can use public spaces for encampment?

What's the importance of having a personal space to you, and how does that influence your view on individuals seeking such space in public areas?

Why do you think someone might choose the insecurity of the streets over the security of a shelter, and what does that decision reveal about shelter systems?

How can society balance compassion for those without homes with the interests of the community at large, especially regarding public property usage?

What responsibilities do we have to ensure the safety and dignity of all individuals in our neighborhoods, including those who prefer to stay on public land?

Imagine being given housing options that didn't meet your needs; how would you want communities to support you in a way that respected your choices?

Reflect on a time you felt out of place; how would you feel if you were asked to move just because you were trying to find a resting space?

If you had no home and didn't feel safe at available shelters, where would you go, and why might public property seem like the only option?

How might your perception of public spaces change if you saw someone sleeping there, and what does that say about society's collective space?

Yes, but in designated encampment areas that do not interfere with the daily commerce of businesses. Utilize state and community social programs (and create more, if necessary) to provide free food, clothing and medicine, and continue to offer available shelter or housing

They shouldn't get criminal records or anything, but it also depends on the area. There should be areas designated for homeless people to be able to encamp or sleep. Some shelters don't allow dogs/cats and their owners need them for emotional support because there is probably mental health issues going on too.

Yes, but in designated encampment areas that do not interfere with the daily commerce of businesses. Utilize existing social programs to provide free food, clothing and medicine, and continue to offer available shelter or housing

create programs that allow them to get help to better themselves

Yes, and as individuals we should try to help within reason

We should create a program to give all homeless citizens somewhere to live

"Everything" is now public or government property. Homeless should be allowed to seek/find/make safe shelter where it does not affect others. As well as be held responsible for that areas well being.

Yes, as long as the owner of the public property consents and the homeless person isn’t harming others.

It should be up to the owner of the property

No, but open outdoor spaces where it is allowed should be provided

Yes, but in designated encampment areas that do not interfere with the commerce of businesses. Utilize existing social programs to provide free food, clothing and medicine, and continue to offer available shelter or housing

Yes, but only outside of city limits.

No, but ensure there are services and funding to shelter them in the way they need to be sheltered and feel safe (which may not be in a conventional homeless shelter). Also expand shelters that take in entire families. Many people turn down shelter because it requires breaking up their family (many don't allow husbands/fathers, etc.)

No, but create more social programs to provide free food, clothing and medicine as well as better and safer shelters as current are not at all "safe" spaces, which is why many refuse to stay.

Depends where the property is and what its use is for.

Yes, but designated areas. Increase social programs for food, clothing and medicine and do not allow panhandling. Give people the resources they need to get back on their feet but don't allow panhandling to be a way of life.

Yes, but still protected outdoor shelters and not within a certain distance from schools
