Life in the homeless shelter is such that I'm always told what the rules are but nobody is listening when I'm telling them what wrongs people do.

The roommate and shelter staff build each other up. Kind of realized it when the manager told me he's a bolsonaro supporter when I brought the subject up of Brazilian elections (not saying Lula is better or worse).

Pretty much fed up to live in these conditions. The only good thing is that when I report to the supervisors they've to comply. Not that there are any changes towards the positive in my living conditions, but that they've to report to someone higher than them. Gives them a bit of a clue that Western Europe is not Brazil (not saying Brazil is bad).

I'm getting tired of narcissistic, fascist people. πŸ˜•

It's a low threshold shelter (the best in the city) - there aren't group homes or anything else here (they don't care either).

It's unsafe as in a different room with 3 other people, they would snort h*roine in the bathroom. Dangerous people. Drug dealers too. πŸ˜• Now I'm in the only room with 2 beds only so I'm with only one roommate. He's a narcissistic bully s*x offender (he even tried to m*sturbate in his bed and had to show him that's not ok). πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ€’

I Used to live in place called palvelukoti for four years. It was pretty much community for those who struggle with mental health, disability or drug addiction. We had food, housing and meds everyday, also there was nurses 24/7 so not feeling alone

Yeah this sounds about the same as Canada. Maybe a little rougher, but pretty much the same.

I think I might be living in a shelter like this one day. What is your situation? Are you on ODSP and when you say prowlers, are they people who steal your stuff or is it dangerous? Need details on how bad it's going to be
