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.

Create more social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine instead.

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.

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

 @94SYSB8answered…2yrs2Y

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.

 @94SYQVQanswered…2yrs2Y

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.

 @94NFX3Yanswered…2yrs2Y

Should not be allowed to camp in public area. Should not be criminalized or imprisoned ifthey should justify why they refused shelter.

 @94KV77Tanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but figure out why they refused and adress shelter shortcomings

 @94K245BLeftanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but provide aid and opportunities like public job to give them the chance to move off the streets

 @94HH78Janswered…2yrs2Y

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.).

 @92SY9HPanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, if they have continually refused offered available shelter and housing

 @8ZZTH49answered…2yrs2Y

 @8YGJ2NSSocial Democraticanswered…2yrs2Y

Only in keeping with the general right of public access, and not to permanently modify, encamp, or degrade the surroundings

 @8XZRSNKanswered…2yrs2Y

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.

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

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?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

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?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

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?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

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?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

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?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

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?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

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

 @8XVQSC5 from Maine answered…1yr1Y

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.

 @7PTCG38 from Wisconsin answered…1yr1Y

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

 @9425J2G from Florida answered…2yrs2Y

"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.

 @93ZQDBJ from California answered…2yrs2Y

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

 @93VGL9L from Minnesota answered…2yrs2Y

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.)
