Most of them are next to the private Blaauwberg Hospital. The festive season was even worse and they camp out in residential areas. We have warned others in the area not to hand out food as this is what keeps them around. They are so disrespectful,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other residents say the problem has worsened and homeless people are becoming vulgar and aggressive. \u201cThey put up camp everywhere you see. I never had a problem with the homeless, but after throwing a stone at my car for not giving them food, my feelings changed. Something needs to be done,\u201d says another resident, Alam Kloppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<link-app1>Helping the homeless<\/link-app1>\n\n\n\n<p>According to NPO Mould Empower Serve (Mes) CEO, Leona Pienaar thousands of homeless and vulnerable people in the city are faced with a great safety dilemma \u2013 where to self-isolate in order to avoid the spread of the virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo far we have been able to distribute over 100 food parcels to vulnerable families in our care, we waived fees for cr\u00e8che parents for April for over 300 families, keep our shelters open, clean and safe, and offered two healthy meals per day to those residing in our shelters during this period and we are extremely grateful for the support,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_d4d89424\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/2761\/1a8e6f92d52e446aae95c4590b9bc478.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/293f5149c0b94edb80c507f2d7b5c27a.jpg\" title=\"Residents say the homeless are creating a dumping ground in residential areas. \"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Residents say the homeless are creating a dumping ground in residential areas. <\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/2761\/a4098e251da4439e9b6747dc2f8e7e66.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/655a60bc012846aab3e2b2f8cf4be5bd.jpg\" title=\"An illegal structure erected in Milnerton.PHOTOS: kailin daniels\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">An illegal structure erected in Milnerton.PHOTOS: kailin daniels<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur Cape Town branch feeds approximately 800 homeless people daily in collaboration with VRCID and local churches since there are not yet enough alternative accommodation options available,\u201d she says<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TLC Outreach projects that are assisting the homeless daily say they currently have an Independent Living Plan Programme (ILP) running. The ILP programme focuses on youth at risk, ex-offenders and the homeless, for the purpose of re-integration into society and normal living. The individuals undertake to become a TLC student and commit themselves to an intense programme. The ILP programme runs throughout the year and is driven by a passionate and dedicated team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have also reached out to a hundred homeless people in December offering food relief hampers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, residents say they notice the spike in homeless people around the festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the State of Disaster and the pending court cases against the City, law enforcement was not able to evict homeless people, local councillors say, even after offers of shelters were made but were refused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When<em> TygerBurger<\/em> visited some of the camping sites in Milnerton last week, the homeless said they have every right to be there.
