Having thought about this further it seems that what transitional shelters (and emergency shelters before that) are doing is preventing those displaced people from being homeless. The shelters provide a roof and in longer term strategies a bed, somewhere to wash and somewhere to cook.
It is this thought about homelessness that has made me think that surely a transitional shelter for the UK would be just as suited to a homeless shelter on a day to day basis…
Modifications would be needed to change a transitional shelter into a permanent residence and this would have its own problems with regards to where it could be built and the effects it would have on local residents.
