Actually there's a place in my city that does this too, but unfortunately the need is greater than the spaces available.
It’s all about dignity isn’t it?
@LnzyHou There are a lot of these homeless "encampments" that pop up all over the city, and the police show up and tear them down, and then they pop up somewhere else. They interviewed a few of the people and although there's room at the shelters, they don't want to go there. Some say they don't feel safe in the shelter.
@nonayadambidnes @LnzyHou In the city I live in, the shelter is a religious organization. In order to be sheltered, people have to adopt the religion, be segregated into male and female sides, and be denied access to their loved ones. They must be behind locked gates by 6pm every day or be denied access to the shelter. They must attend religious services to be eligible for the shelter. This is not an outlier. This is common in many cities. I wonder why people don't feel safe in them...
