“There are 494 people who are effectively on the street, either in tents or in the stairwells. These are people who refused answers or who are waiting for better answers, or who have already been accepted in some way and who abandoned it”, indicates the councillor for Human and Social Rights, Laurinda Alves.
Speaking to Lusa, the councillor recalls that in the early 2000s there was a change in the national strategy in relation to mental health, which “threw many people onto the street”: the homeless situation “has changed a lot, for the worse”.

What is going to happen and what is the next step in the process of helping the mentally ill? Surely government will be able to set up a program that will aid them? (job creation) there are many abandoned facilities that need to be used and could be put to good use. What about clock in work cards - I. Order to help them become healthier individuals by helping them get work - ie: street cleaning or something along the lines they have to check in at certain times in order to have a room and shelter and receive meals. Make it a communial facility where there is a living room to watch TV, play boards games, read books and regular doctors visits.
Drug tests are necessary.
If caught - discipline and fine them.
Charge a small fee for them to live in the room and community house. They need to be responsible for providing their personal products.
There are simple solutions and easily reachable.
Don't allow this to grow into something bigger than what it is now. Learn from other countries especially USA their homelessness has become a pandemic. Do Portugal proud and be a leading example to the rest of the world. Portugal is a humanity country.
