Can Mila not go to the emergency shelter? That question was asked several times today. According to the municipality, Mila can just go there. “From us everything has been tried to help her. If it really doesn’t work, there is just a place in the emergency shelter. That can even be in a hotel,” said the lawyer of the municipality.
According to the municipality, Mila has received several options for emergency shelter, but she has not always used it. “Urgency is only for the very exceptional cases. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people such as Mila, who roam to place with and without children. We have to be strict. We have only 300 places to forgive every year.”
Mila also says it has approached the emergency shelter several times. But because of her asthma, those facilities are not suitable. She and her lawyer also find it not a suitable place for a mother with child. “You have little privacy, there are no baby facilities and when we were there, smoking was smoked in,” said the mother.
The municipality’s lawyer does not agree with that: ” We are not going to place small children among addicts and homeless people or bring them into an unhealthy situation? Of course not. We have suitable places for families, where they are just welcome. “
