All by-laws that criminalise homelessness without a just cause must be reviewed.

This is the call from the Inkathalo Conversations which made over 150 recommendation in its report on homelessness. The inquiry was commissioned by the City.

The report criticises the City’s response to homelessness and questions its processes that resulted in recent changes to City by-laws, particularly those that fine homeless people for refusing offers of shelter.
