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

Homelessness should be eradicated through the means of a standardized base wage for all. Nobody asked to or consented to be born and to be punished for this happenstance is nonsensical, as is believing that a person with low or no monetary has no value as a whole. A base wage would have the added effect of letting the populace truly vote with their money, as they could now afford the choice of leaving a workplace that does not value its workforce or provide a good enough service to society. Let's see what the free market has to say then.

This is a very tricky question to answer
@99GC4LX1yr1Y
Create more social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine instead.
@97ZB2ZD1yr1Y
Yes, unless they are criminals or drug addicts
@95C7Q3G2yrs2Y
Yes, but in regulated spaces
@95C2VGK2yrs2Y
Depends on the conditions inside the public shelter/housing.
@95BY28D2yrs2Y
Homeless should me provided some sort of training so that they can fend for themselves after a period of support. Only aged people or people with disabilities should be supported continuously.
@959VWNR2yrs2Y
Yes, but limit the provided free food clothing and medications
@9594MC62yrs2Y
Offer mental health assistance
There should a program that works in order to support the mental health of these individuals as well as combining that with monetary support towards a semi financial independence

If they refuse we should find out why and work towards making the shelters better and help them give jobs to help them get out of their situation.
@94SYQVQ2yrs2Y
I think the main issue with homeless shelters is that they are really unsafe for woman. And requiring woman to stay in an unsafe environment in my opinion is unethical.
@94NFX3Y2yrs2Y
Should not be allowed to camp in public area. Should not be criminalized or imprisoned ifthey should justify why they refused shelter.
@94KV77T2yrs2Y
Yes, but figure out why they refused and adress shelter shortcomings
Yes but provide aid and opportunities like public job to give them the chance to move off the streets
@94J89B52yrs2Y
@94HH78J2yrs2Y
No. and make it a criminal offense only if they refused shelter or housing which was in decent condition and if they also refused the social integration support( job search, medical care, foster care etc.).
@92SY9HP2yrs2Y
Yes, if they have continually refused offered available shelter and housing
@9CVDSMM8mos8MO
@8ZZTH492yrs2Y
Only during night time so they won't disturb the public.
Only in keeping with the general right of public access, and not to permanently modify, encamp, or degrade the surroundings
@8XZRSNK2yrs2Y
No, if they have already refused the available shelter or housing, then they have already refused the public help and must go to private help.

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
@8XVQSC51yr1Y
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.
@7PTCG381yr1Y
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
@95S7WDY2yrs2Y
create programs that allow them to get help to better themselves
@94YDFJW2yrs2Y
Yes, and as individuals we should try to help within reason
@DengekiMatsuko2yrs2Y
We should create a program to give all homeless citizens somewhere to live
@9425J2G2yrs2Y
"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.
@93ZQDBJ2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as the owner of the public property consents and the homeless person isn’t harming others.
@8VGD9NG2yrs2Y
It should be up to the owner of the property
@OneMohrTime2yrs2Y
No, but open outdoor spaces where it is allowed should be provided
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
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
@8VG8DZB2yrs2Y
Yes, but only outside of city limits.
@93VGL9L2yrs2Y
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.)
