What news reports are contradicting shelter workers?
And I’ve lived on the streets so am aware of the dangers there and in shelters. I’ve also been a social worker. What expertise do you have in the field?

One says that no beds are available… while outreach workers are out offering beds. That’s a contradiction, is it not?

So we can agree that the streets come with an *additional * set of risks with little to no benefit staying there, especially if you are a woman or a minor or an addict or have mental health issues.
Shelters are the better option in a less-than-ideal situation.
I’ve also been a social worker.
I’m glad to hear that. Did you find that most people got off the streets by rejecting services and refusing to go into a shelter, or was there another path that avoided these resources which helped more?

I found that people want to safe first, and shelters don’t always guarantee that.
