In the Flux Empire of the Auto-Reds, almost everyone is guaranteed one house to live in. In Mujez this is especially true. As a result, homelessness is not really much of an issue.

We just fought and prevented homelessness by erecting giant housing projects - it practically doesn't exist anymore here.
Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore. Until there's a new, proper factfile, everything you might need to know can be found here. Thank you. #RetconOfDoom (Very late update, 2020/08/30 - it's still going on ...)

There are almost no homeless ponies in Equestria, because any pony foolish enough to spend the night outdoors by themselves is likely to get eaten by whatever horrors prowl around at night. In fact, it's customary that any pony who's either away from her home or down on her luck can ask for, and receive no questions asked, lodging at any barn or stable at nightfall. Mind you, if you abuse the privilege, the barn or stable owner has the right to put you to work to earn your keep, but few ponies complain about it.

We simply give them homes. Homelessness is a societal sickness, not a moral or personal failing.

We have a radical idea regarding this. What if... you worked to gave the homeless free homes? Why, they wouldn't be homeless anymore, now would they? We determined that the amount of money some countries spend on hostile architecture intended to keep the homeless from being seen is sufficient enough to be better spent building homes for the homeless and setting up welfare departments to get homeless people into those homes.

Now, we haven't been able to give homes to everyone yet. Between complications in the bureaucracy, and the problem being a bit larger than what our budget has been able to handle, there are still people without homes, currently. However, we do treat those individuals fairly, both regulating laws against hostile architecture (Those benches that have rails in the middle of them for no apparent reason? The rails are there to keep people from sleeping on them, and no other reason. Those benches are illegal here.), educating the public about homelessness, and incentivizing others to let the homeless live with them, if even for a short time, through the use of tax breaks.

Mama makes sure we all have a home.

Being homeless but not disabled or gravely ill is frowned upon -- how could a perfectly healthy person become homeless in the state that actually has a shortage of labor?

Well, homeless will be welcomed to our free shelters, where they need to help maintain the place and we will help them find a job according to their ability. If they are ill or disabled, we have free healthcare to cover that. If they are underage, they will be sent to school for free. That said, although we have welfare, free healthcare and education, we are quite a nation of harsh wastelanders. If you do not work, then you won't have food on your table. We won't leave them to be homeless or jobless for long, and we will eventually expect them to pay back either by community works or taxes.

Homeless?

Postby The Revetic Soverignty » Fri May 04, 2018 6:17 am

Good sir, in the Revetic States the homeless are non-existent, if one prefers to live on the street, he prefers to break curfew and thus prefers to live in the common houses. If one sees a homeless man or woman they are are much respected if they bring them in and rehabilitate them, if one can work they will work no matter what, and the police force makes sure of that.

not that anyone is really homeless in the CSRS, we would rather have people in mines than in the street.

They are useful for such things as live test subjects or human sacrifices.
A good deal of them are also sold as slaves.

Job fairs and government-paid free housing programs are some of the ways we "cure" homelessness; prevention of people becoming poor, and thus preventing with it homelessness, hunger, etc., lies on making Palmyrians financially-literate, a lesson that stems from the early days of the Royal Palmyrian Commonwealth as it struggled to rise from the rubble that followed the 4th Civil War (1976-1984) which killed nearly 50 million Palmyrians.

Despite homelessness being a rather small problem in Japan, it remains a concern, especially in the bigger cities like Tokyo and Keijo. Homeless people are often given food and shelter in the many homeless shelters around the nation. Opportunities for employment are also offered to them, usually as blue-collar workers or low-level service employees.

How my nation treats the homeless.

Postby Saskovia » Fri May 04, 2018 11:20 pm

Around our country, we have built Homeless Shelters. Every homeless person share bedrooms, with up to 4-5 people., The week routine is usually:

1. Wake up
2.Do morning things, brush teeth in the bathrooms, get dressed, etc.
3. Roll call so nobody is missing
4.Chefs are hired in the buildings to serve breakfast to all of them in the cafeteria room.
5. During the day, there are game rooms, outside areas, playground for homeless kids, lounge to watch tv, and socialisation rooms for the people to use. They must stay in the shelter.
6. Chefs are hired in the buildings to serve lunch.
7. Keep doing number 5.
8. Dinner
9. Supper
10. Morning things but for the evening. Get dressed to pjs, etc.
11. Sleep

On weekends, the shelter guardians spend money on what people request in the city. For example, somebody wants to go bowling on the weekend. The shelter guardians take the homeless people there.

Summary: We are a scandinavian nation, so we don’t treat people stupidly. Us Vikings are nice.

As organized under the Edicts of Mercy, welfare-related legislation of the Realm, the homeless are provided with basic shelters, where they are concentrated in cities and can be easily found and recruited by companies for work. They are also provided with basic income to acquire everyday necessities. These policies however have been criticized for being parsimonious, unable to truly or rarely tackle the problem, and also for the slums produced as a result of quickly assembled temporary housing.

In The Incorporated States of XY we don't have slums or homeless shelters, but they are Ultramegastores with huge underground apartment complexes underneath that homeless people can live in rent-free in the apartments, in exchange for working in the stores. They get paid in Ultramegastore vouchers and are thus provided with an income and job. If they don't wish to live in an Ultramegastores underground apartment complexex, their is no law stopping hobos from squatting.

We've used public works and job opportunities to alleviate the unemployment epidemic which leads to solving homelessness, and opened up cheap, low-cost housing for the homeless while they work and earn livable wages so at some point, they'll be able to afford their own home.

For law-abiding citizens with unquestionable loyalty to the State, we provide decent shelters until they can support themselves.

For those with criminal record or those who are culturally or politically undesirable, they will enslaved and sold to slave traders.

Depends on area, most cities and states provide free housing adjacent to centers where manpower is in high demand; of course, them being disregarded and treated as pests and scourges, as well as being rounded up, are not unheard of in more 'despotic' constituents. There is also increasing concern of disappearances of the homeless in larger slums, allegations and theories that they end up as test subjects for state experimentation or recruited into secret units are not uncommon.
