ActionSA welcomes the approval of a 300-bed Safe-Space Homeless Shelter in Cape Town, marking an end to the suffering of 300 individuals who would otherwise have languished on the streets.
The harsh and inhospitable conditions that define street life demand dignified government intervention. Therefore, ActionSA believes that there is an urgent and continuous need for a compassionate effort to provide safe shelter for the City’s homeless population.
The approval of the Safe Space Homeless Shelter by the Municipal Tribunal serves as a universal acknowledgment of the necessity to intervene in the circumstances endured by the homeless, circumstances that undoubtedly involve immense suffering.
Importantly, the provision of comprehensive social services is vital for the long-term rehabilitation and empowerment of the homeless, capacitating them to become active economic participants. This, in turn, ensures a continuous cycle through which we can facilitate the rehabilitation of the many thousands in desperate need of help.
Furthermore, ActionSA urges the City of Cape Town to expedite all efforts aimed at providing affordable housing within the inner city. This is crucial to mitigate the significant disparity in housing costs, which are unaffordable for the vast majority of Capetonians, many of whom work within the inner City but are forced to reside on its outskirts, leading to costly and arduous commutes that consume hours of their daily lives.
