The City can tell when they've offered the "truly accessible" accommodation which the courts require, because the encampment dweller will take it. Will prefer it to a leaky freezing tent. Instead of telling them group shelters are great, why not ask them why they think they're not?

Place pets in "supportive care"? Ie. take them away from their homeless owners, but at least not kill them? Not much of an offer compared to a tiny cabin where they could keep their pet.
