Homeless in warehouse

littelady

Hi all,
To help the homeless could the government open up warehouses, have a soup kitchen in place and have a recruitment specialists in hand and a postal service. They could have a bus circulating Dublin and drop off at the warehouse. I think it would be very efficient why not?

Sounds like a film - District 9?

Cantona's Collars

It'd be cheaper to buy mobile homes and set them up on some of the vacant land the council can't seem to build houses on.

littelady

To build houses for all is so expensive can the country really afford to build thousands of homes and to be honest I feel it would be never ending. I'm talking about getting people off the streets now and let them have some dignity and have a base to help themselves get jobs at the lowest cost to the state.

littelady

Mobile homes can cost tens of thousands and if not respected they would not be standing in a few years time.

Sounds like a great start to a warehouse party scene

Never seen District 9

Biggest problem with mass homeless people being grouped together is toilet facilities. Yes throw them all in a barn and throw food at them, and let them crap and piss all over each other and wallow in their own feces.
I think they'd rather roam free and be on the streets.

Seems like a step down from a shelter which are already available.

They could get drug dealers to tender for the rights to operate there - shure the place would pay for itself!






OP in case you don't know, the government already funds numerous charities to provide beds, services etc for the homeless.

A roof sounds great but they need toilets, showers, a decent kitchen and privacy. They have put homeless people in a old factory in Dublin 12 but they have them locked in it is like a prison without facilities. They rushed it through using emergency legislation from 2000 against the wishes of local residents. (the site is completely unsuitable) Gets them off the street so the government looks like it is doing something but it is just so the guy who owns the factory can claim it is residential since he has now applied to build apartments on the site. so where are the homeless going to be shoved when he gets the go ahead? The era of brown envelopes and helping your "friends" hasn't gone away.

To be honest I don't know much about homelessness just a few bits I hear on the radio I'm not from Dublin so I am isolated from seeing the reality. I'm sure the warehouse could have ample showers and bathrooms

See what you can do to help homeless locally in your hometown.
There are usually charities in every town.

I ve worked in warehouses, they cold and miserable. Dont recall them having showers either.

You say you dont know much about homelessness, it shows.

Gatling

This is exactly what there doing with homeless hubs

Owryan: I don't know much on the homeless but I do know a bit on warehouses you can have industrial heaters installed that is not at a danger to people and you can install as many bathroom facilities as needed. Have councillors on hand and a place you can recieved post. A safe secure place to sleep at night that enables the homeless person to find there own jobs .

The problem will only be solved when more social housing is built. Everything else is pissing in the wind.

padd b1975

All these facetious solutions to the homeless problem will drive Coppinger to an early grave.

Just saying like!

littelady

I disagree that the issue will only be solved when more social house will be built....it will be never ending ....people can't rely on getting essentially half price houses. People have to make there way in this world. Country can't afford it.

antoinolachtnai

that is more or less what a homeless shelter is or is supposed to be.

Our current crisis has at its core that there just aren’t enough homes for the number of family units who live here. You can give them as much counseling as you like and find them a job and all the rest, but there still won’t be enough homes.

If you put the homeless in warehouses people would be giving out that some homeless are gaming the system in order to get a place in the warehouses that are paid for with my taxes.

tigger123

Where's my forever warehouse?! Eh?! I work hard!

You seem to be talking about the rough sleepers part of our homeless problem. There is no simple answer to rough sleepers. A warehouse wouldn't be suitable. Some take drugs. Some are drunks. Others are totally dry and clean from drugs. Some have mental health problems. I commended you for trying to come up with an answer but there is no one shoe fits all with rough sleepers.

littelady

To clarify my suggestion is for rough sleepers.sorry

😱😱, Shure why bother with homes then or that. Must be plenty of empty warehouses that can be ripped apart and rebuilt instead.

Warehouses are freezing. Their is enough hostel spaces for all rough sleepers but for various reasons some prefer to stay outside

Why not send them all to a big farm down the country where they can run in the fields all day, chase sheep and play with the other homeless people.

Open up your home and take in a few!

The french closed down the camps they had in Calais and the refugees just ended up living in the woods circling the town with virtually nothing. The red cross and other aid agencies gave them water.

The government refused to provide food toilets or water, and then started doing daily police raids where they would seize tents, sleeping bags etc. They want them gone. Everyone has the right to live everywhere.

There are beds available to anyone who wants one. Usually these beds come with conditions that may not be acceptable to those in need, hence their choice to sleep rough.
