The right to shelter idea to tackle homelessness

Homelessness is a massive problem on the planet Earth, but there is something that we can do about it.

I was talking to a friend down the pub in the UK and he told me that the local council were paying £1400 a month to keep him in temporary accommodation until a flat/bungalow was found for him. I personally pay around £560 a month for rent. These overinflated housing costs are costing the nation huge amounts of money. According to the charity shelter, £1.7 billion is spent on housing people in temporary accommodation across the United Kingdom according to the charity shelter.

There are huge numbers of homeless people living on the streets in the United Kingdom and across the world for no reason, and because of this the cost of policing goes up, police officers and ambulance workers and charity workers are occasionally subject to violence, violence is caused to homeless people, the cost of running hospitals goes up, and homeless people lose their lives on the streets and also crime is committed by some homeless people who are desperately trying to survive and who sometimes have drug and alcohol problems.

The world and individual Governments have huge numbers of Government/Council owned community centres/village halls.

Most homelessness occurs in cities and towns.

The Governments of the world, if they create a law, the right to shelter law to protect homeless people which forces the local Governments/Governments worldwide to open up the Government owned community centres, and village halls (Village halls when there are homeless people in Villages) would where a bathroom is available and facilities help restore some normality to homeless people’s lives and protect their lives, and help protect them from dying on the streets. The people in Great Britain and the world who have previously looked down upon the homeless would realise that the homeless people of Great Britain are just as valuable as their own.

The rehumanising of homeless people in the eyes of some members of the public through law would help decrease violence and also lower the cost to the tax payer.

The community centres could be improved by building extensions on buildings where needed and rooms, and showers added to buildings where there are no showers and extra facilities such as cooking facilities, and access to help with drug addictions and alcoholism provided, and WiFi and computers to help the homeless find permanent housing and jobs, and letterboxes so the homeless could receive mail.

The cost of housing the homeless in community centres and village halls, and the cost of hiring security and staff to look after the homeless would be minimal and microscopic compared to the £1.7 billion spent on housing the homeless in temporary accommodation in the last year or so.

No longer would the United Kingdom or any country in the world need to pay private landlords and have to pay overinflated prices to house the homeless in temporary accommodation.
