> That’s why my suggestion is to offer them the choice to willingly use a shelter or go to jail

You can't jail someone for not sheltering themselves. That would most probably violate their civil rights and would not survive a test in the courts.



You can jail someone for camping in a park, though. If they want to go sleep and shamble in the woods, go for it. Not on the sidewalks.
