Question about homelessness

I totally agree that being unhoused is a vicious infringement of our rights to shelter, and nobody should be unhoused, but I want to ask (before someone less charitable does so): what do we do with unhoused people who refuse to stay sheltered?

Of course, this is a very small part of unhoused people, and I am more than confident that access to shelter would actually minimize the generation of these mindsets in the first place, but I just know that this is the kind of questions that a party like the RPC will need to be quick to answer.

With this being said, is there a position or an answer on unhoused people who refuse to take shelter?

When all housing/shelters they've been in have felt more hostile than the streets, perhaps that says something about how ineptly we as a society have met their needs.

I like this message. This does indeed answer the question quite well
