San Francisco officials say they offer shelter beds to homeless people before asking them to leave an encampment, as required by law. But unhoused people say the offers are vague and few, and sometimes not made at all.

to provide medical care to homeless people with untreated psychosis, even against their will — and he has literally rolled up his shirt sleeves to join encampment cleanups. Under the program, people struggling with alcohol and opioid addiction won’t qualify for treatment unless they have a diagnosed psychiatric disorder.

There are also informal requests for homeless people to move, like the one Solomon encountered, so it’s not possible to know the full scale of enforcement actions taken, or threatened to be taken, against people who are homeless. But Toro Castaño, one of the seven individual plaintiffs, said that without affordable housing, people who are unhoused like him are forced to move from place to place. “We’ll literally move across the street — in the other direction,” he said. “In a week we might move 14 times. Just from corner to corner to corner.

Advocates say that many people who are homeless would rather stay outdoors than in shelters, where they risk contracting coronavirus, as well as encountering abuse or threats of violence. Homeless people who have pets, work night shifts, need mental health services, or have substance use disorders have a difficult time finding a shelter that will take them.

Lies do not become us..

Stop being a drug addict and you won’t be homeless

All homeless people shoukd be relocated to abandoned military bases with access to drug treatment and health care but away from cities.

Some officials know Drug addicts going to refuse anyway!

if evangelical christians and MAGAs were as concerned about the homeless as they are about unborn babies….

If only they could take Ukrainian citizenship..

The reality is that they don’t want shelters as they are not allowed to so drugs in them. They prefer the streets b/c they can do all the drugs they please there.

There are 20hr jobs everywhere!!! Put the meth pipe down and go to work!

“uNhOuSeD”. 🙄

good Ole USA, where it's illegal to be homeless

Stop making it an offer and make it a law.

“Unhoused” woke garbage. They are homeless.

They don't need shelter beds. They need permanent housing.

Always a few who want more and more for nothing.

sura_michelle Woke want u jabbed often so lotta Sudden Deaths as Woke want u gone! Fewer merrier in their books! Ta ta

Maybe Nancy should set up a camp on her taxpayer funded vineyard

“Unhoused people” 😂

The offer comes with the requirement to not do their precious drugs. They would rather be homeless. Don’t kid yourself. They choose this every day.

California's Congressional delegation could pool it's newfound millions (security funding) to build permanent housing. But that would be too much like right.

Maybe get to work and do something useful. How about that?

The offers include having to be sober. This isn’t a housing issue.
