I think of it more as a proof of concept. I am not a fan of the 'temporary housing' part though. There is really no reason we should not be able to provide something like that for everyone that needs one for as long as they need.
heres the thing it isnt just breaking the law or drugs etc.
in shelters they make you leave all your belongings outside these can be survival needs or the only sentimental things they have, this means they have to risk hiding their items which get stolen most of the time, almost always stolen.
they dont allow any food items or water inside so they also have to leaveany food they may need
curfew is strict meaning you gotta be there by like 4pm to 6pm if the bus is late youre fucked and then they chuck you right back out at 5-6am
you must be separated from any friends, partners etc
if you tip toe anything out of line you are banned from the shelter and any associated one and they are all connected
this is why most people dont go to shelters,it doesnt help them, they treat these people like absolute shit
Why are we treating unhoused people so poorly to abide by rules so strict they are worse than prison , we treat unhoused legally and in shelters as criminals
they are people who need help
the tiny home projects are great in concept they do not plan out in practice as the unhoused population is too many and too few tiny home opportunities
Everyone wants to tout an unhoused person is just a lazy alcoholic drug user with mental health issues when most arent but they are treated as such
Even users in here posting fluff pieces still tout the same rhetoric
