Most jurisdictions in the United States have no right to shelter. One exception is Massachusetts, where families (but not homeless individuals) do have the right to shelter.[12] In California, runaway children have the right to be admitted to emergency shelters without parental consent.[13] New York City also recognizes a right to emergency shelter.


NEW YORK — The crowds outside the Roosevelt Hotel in midtown Manhattan this week would have been familiar in any number of U.S. cities struggling to contain a crisis of homelessness: dozens of people languishing on sidewalks, camping out on flattened cardboard boxes day and night.

But for New York City, the scene — made up of migrants waiting for beds in the city’s overburdened shelter system — was unusual. And it raised a difficult question: Will this become a new normal?

New York has avoided the kinds of widespread encampments that are more common in cities on the West Coast, largely because of a unique legal agreement that requires the city to provide a bed for anyone who requests one. No other major city in the United States has a similar mandate, known as a “right to shelter.”

But what happens when a city that is obligated to provide shelter for everyone runs out of shelter?



西部洛杉矶旧金山和东部纽约搞的这个法律有意思,很多美国其他地区没有相关政策的地方的流浪汉都跑到这几个大城市了。


加拿大多伦多是不是有相关规定?难怪多伦多市长要大家开放家门接纳难民
