Responses to homelessness
- Accommodative responses: caretaker
- Restorative responses:
Aid the homeless by treatment - Exploitative responses: cater to homeless without concern for their well-being
- Exclusionist/expulsionist responses: finish property values and increase crime frequently result in cancellation of projects
- Containment: seeks to minimize the thirst that the homeless pose to public order by reducing their visibility
