We need to call it what it is: MENTAL HEALTH BREAKDOWN. These people need psych wards. They need to be helped. They need to know that they are wanted, loved, cared for. Not societies throw always.

No, but we should assess the current shelters and housing to see why they may be refusing to use them.

 @9VJLT3Zfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Homeless shelters need drastic expansion and improvement, and hostile architecture should be banned.

Don’t want them on my private place. I have had enough of feeling unsafe in my community and home. Not fair as a tax paying citizen that I have no rights anymore for my safety

It depends, if they are taking space and damaging property, then no, but if they are leaving people be and aren't making a mess, then yes.

Yes but not long term, if it becomes a long term issue then more social programs and other programs and housing needs to be provided and built asap
