[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I ended up calling the non emergency line and stressed that he was not harming anyone. The police came out, woke him up, nicely explained that he couldn’t sleep in front of someone’s door, and then left after he walked away.[/quote]

That was the right move.  You don't want him to get in the habit of using your vestibule to sleep in.  So if you see him there again, handle it the same way.  It is unfortunate but people who are homeless generally also have addictions or mental health issues that can make their behavior unpredictable.  If you feel you want to do something to help then consider making donations to your local soup kitchen or shelter.  Things like $, sleeping bags, blankets, hygiene supplies, food and gift cards are always appreciated.[/quote]

It was exactly the right thing to do because our system is messed up and we have police deal with non criminal issues. They shouldn’t have to deal with this but alas we use them for so many things that are not police related.[/quote]
