Yes

Democratic Socialism generally supports the rights of individuals, including the homeless, to have access to public spaces. However, the ideology also emphasizes the importance of providing adequate social services and housing options for the homeless, so the focus would be more on addressing the root causes of homelessness rather than simply allowing people to sleep on public property.
