There are laws against it, but there are also human rights issues at play. I don't see a simple solution.
In Vancouver, there are up to 20,000 people that already use shelters and there are not always spaces available either. In this particular case, they said everyone affected by the decampment will be offer room in a shelter, but they can't force them to accept.
