…ch leads to ineffective policies, solutions and an abundance of shortages, mostly shelter capacity. The problem with homeless shelters is that they have difficult regulations which often lead people without housing to stay on the street. Whether it’s an 8 pm curfew, no pets allowed, or gender constraints, shelter rules are draconian. If you want to keep your family together or night shifts at your job, there just isn’t a shelter for it. The pandemic has exacerbated regulations, employment, housing and healthcare for people without homes, we need better resolutions, more research and funding to provide adequate access and resources.
