"Up next is the Calaverde Homelessness Act."

by **Lykens** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 1:54 am

"Excellent bill authored by the most honorable Winston Salem. It will serve to help the homeless population of Calaverde, and I hope we can pass this unanimously, save the extremely sharp votes from our colleagues in the Indigenous Workers' Party and Free National Party."

"An excellent proposal that creates basic protections for the homeless."

by **Atlanticatia** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 1:09 pm

"I have concerns about the work requirements attached to the permanent housing. It would be unfair to, for example, force a recovering drug addict or war veteran with PTSD to look for work the second they get housed. I would propose introducing a grace period where the homeless person would work with a social worker so they can get medication, claim the appropriate benefit from the social insurance office in general. I would also propose tying the requirements to the work requirements for social assistance. For example, a person who is temporarily sick doesn't have to look for work when claiming sickness benefits, and a single parent who has a younger child doesn't have to look for work when claiming single parent benefits. I'm also opposed to evicting people if they don't look for work - we can't just throw people on the streets without offering them accommodation elsewhere.

I may propose an amendment if others feel the same way. I do however support the principle of this bill, but it seems like it could cause undue stress and hardship."

"I have to say that the Prime Minister makes a good point and I would support an amendment to allow exceptions in special circumstances.

"Only one city block? This legislation does not go far enough. No strong social services provided, barely enough homes for the homeless population, and no initiatives to end homelessness. Temporary housing is cruel, giving an inevitable eviction from the start. This legislation is alarmingly insufficient."

by **MERIZoC** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 1:24 pm

"This bill fails to address the problems that may have caused the homelessness in the first place, and does not go far enough in attempting to prevent the problem. As my other colleagues have said, it is unacceptable to expect the disabled and diseased to be actively searching work. That is true. But my complaints go further. Housing is a basic human right. Does anyone suggest we make access to water conditional? Nobody should be forced to do anything to be able to live with simple human dignity."

"You know, I agree that something as basic as housing should be a fundamental and unconditional human right. When we passed my bill introducing the housing allowance, there were no requirements to work attached to a claim for that allowance.
