@vantablack They're not just shitty in the US either. They run a lot of the homeless shelters in the Netherlands, typically (partly) government-funded.
Back in 2013, I was part of a local Occupy camp, and we were wondering why there was a sudden spike in violence and other harassing behaviour in the camp at night.
Turns out the local Salvation Army maintains a no-entry list of "problematic" homeless folks, who were told (without us knowing about it!) that "you should go sleep in the camp instead".
Ah yes, pawn off people's drug abuse problems onto a bunch of penniless activists who are totally untrained for this, instead of doing your job and helping them. Fucking assholes.

@joepie91 @vantablack
I was told about exactly the same thing being done by them on the NL squatter/party scene, but as long ago as 1997-1999!
