If you knew someone that was homeless, would you let them stay with you if you had the room?

[Anonymous]

Yes, if they were a good person

No way

Yes, only for a little bit tho

[Drumlin2001]

Nope. Wouldn't risk my kids.
I have a negative history with the homeless, why should I have to clean up their urine and faeces from my home? I'd give them nothing

[BCRanger10]

Yes, if we had the space and they could be comfortable.

[Abbycado]

No. It isn’t because I wouldn’t want to help or I didn’t feel for them. It is a safety issue for me.

If they were a friend, of course, they could stay as long as then needed to.

Hypothetically yes, if they were a good person. But, realistically, I have no way of determining that in a short amount of time. So, in real life, NO, unless the room was in a detached ADU.

If it was someone I knew personally for a long enough time to know their character/personality, yes. But, for a random stranger, NO, unless the room was in detached ADU and I have spent some amount of time around them to be judge them

and take precautions towards risks

[SmokinAces2000]

That would depend on how long and how well I know them

[seeyounexttuesday]

Nope. More than likely they're addicts; they'll rob you dry.

Being an addict doesn't equate to being a robber. But, it is important to be wary of strangers.

[seeyounexttuesday]

@I_am_a_human addicts are way more willing to steal from you if they're homeless.

@I_am_a_human common sense.
