Where Do We Place Homeless People Looking for Sleep?

Not all people today have the luxury of sleeping in secure homes and apparently many displaced parts of society will have to find alternative solutions of where they can sleep as it was announced that authorities will start apprehending overnight campers at Kapiolani Park.
Of course, many are still considering it a bluff as most of them will only make their move once the authorities really set in and drive them away. But the fact of the matter is they are being given the grace period to look for other places to camp in for temporary shelter which seems to be more of a wait-and-see situation than really standing up to their word.
Some homeless living at the park said they’d rather wait and see if the police start evicting people, than peremptorily move into a shelter. Chuck Mailo, a Kapiolani Park resident for about two months, said he moved to Kapiolani from Aala Park because it seemed safer.
“It’s kind of a hard situation,” he said. “There are a lot of people medically disabled.”
Police will start enforcing a new city law that restricts camping in public parks overnight, possibly forcing out more than a hundred people staying at Kapiolani Park.
