[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is exactly the problem. The people that run homeless shelters should help you not cops.

Yes,yes, YES!!! 
If the non emergency line could instead send a social worker to bring him somewhere safe, he wouldn't relocate to another vestibule, or street resulting in him getting injured or sick.

You weren't wrong OP. I get your choice. But the system needs a better solution. [/quote]

All of these people have been approached by a social worker at some time or have been referred to somewhere safe to sleep, even by the police.  They are sleeping on the street because they don't prefer shelters for a variety of reasons.

The solution would be institutions for in-patient mental health/substance abuse treatment, but it would take a lot more than just a visit from a social worker to get them there.

There is a podcast called fixable and they explain places that don’t have homeless and how they deal with it. Yes the SW find their family or a program or drive them home because often it’s a vet with disability income and a place to stay.

Cops can track every homeless person and solve their problem but if we cared it is fixable.[/quote]
