Corporations should not be allowed to own any single family homes. Sinlge family homes are for families.

 @9TMG6K4from Alberta  answered…7mos7MO

in specific surcomestances familys should get help from schools and the government in order to survive

 @9F8MTG9New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

The government should instead introduced policies to prevent skyrocketing housing prices

 @9F8D328 from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Regardless, the government should gain ownership of all houses/apartment buildings, distribute it equally with accommodations for needed space, and make it free. Housing is a human right.

 @9FBRNSPfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

homes should be affordable to everybody and there should be some kind of inspection to show how much your home is actually worth instead of everyone being selfish when they sell their homes for much more than they are worth.

 @999XCCQfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Only if the person who needs finacial support has been looking for a better job, and working hard.

 @95SJWGRNew Democraticfrom New Brunswick  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes however we should also look at more affordable land options and zoning laws that ban tiny homes as this could be an affordable alternative for many people and allow people of any income level to have a shelter or easily subsidized by the government.

 @95MZNW7New Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but the amount subsidized be based off the house prices within the province.

 @95CJ8VTfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

no, I think that the government should subsidize people who make less than 100k a year

 @93KS3GSfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but at this point in the economy, the minimum amount people need to make to get help should be raised. A combined family income of $120k is not enough to buy a house on their own. The government should also limit the number of homes that can be bought by a single person or corporation.

 @8VVBDWWNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, the government should limit number of homes that can be bought by a single person or corporation

Housing needs to be de-commodified entirely. Social housing is the way.

 @8VKL72Jfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No, rent support and building high quality state housing in urban centres is a more effective means of eliminating housing shortages without increasing future inequality (mortgage supports historically entrench hereditary wealth gaps between those who do and don’t receive them due to hereditary property transmission)

 @8VDNCS7New Democraticfrom Northwest Territories  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8V8FLZLNew Democraticfrom New Brunswick  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8V772GPNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No. New home production should be increased, foreign buyers should be taxed, unoccupied homes should be heavily taxed, the number of properties and the absolute square footage of land owned by a person or corporation should be limited.

 @8V6K63MNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

ban bidding wars. no home should sell for more than its current worth, not hundreds of thousands over. stop blind bidding. make current home owners pay higher down payments. the more homes they own, the higher the down payment. proof of where money has come from to prevent homes neing bought with dirty money. eliminate, or hugely reduce payouts to share holders where corporate ownership is concerned. getting rid down payments all together for first time buyers. making interest higher buyers buying 2nd+ homes. interest should be higher with each new property. make tenancy act more in favour of tenents to discourage slumlord investing.

 @8V67R5Dfrom New Brunswick  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8V5QQBQNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Should be allowed less of a downpayment. Or given interest free loan for downpayment if they have a good credit history.

 @8V59VL5from Quebec  answered…4yrs4Y

yes but lower the 120k by quite a lot so it’s only going to those who are seriously in need

 @8V5848Xfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8V56VJZNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8V3HPBLNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but there should be an application process to receive these fundings, and requirements.

 @8TZT5W3New Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8TY638NNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8TVYWZ6New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and the government should provide more funding to develop more affordable housing

 @8TVQFHDNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes and limit the number homes that can be bought and lower the cost to buy a home.

 @8TQTW27New Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but the government should make housing more affordable for both renters and home buyers by increasing the supply of housing units through direct funding of their construction

  @8TFVW57New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8T4XK6Pfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8S624SJNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

We need more subsidized, affordable, rent controlled rental properties in Canada for those who simply will never be able to purchase a property. Our system is biased towards ownership. That is backwards, narrow-minded thinking.

 @8RGTCB6from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

They should provide a head start to for first time home buyers to get into the market but I don't think they should be given a full grant every time.

 @8QQZPGVConservativefrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, although how it is given out should be determined on individual financial status and the amount of dependants that the home buyers have.

 @8QL87P3from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8Q4YXWMNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

if the person has a large family and is raising kids on his/her own then yes.

 @8PPXBX7from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

It depends of if they are on assisted living, above or below poverty line, and a few other factors. it honestly depends on the situation.

 @8PPLF2TNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

you mean - *who make less than $60K per year. - $120K per year is Rich. those people do not need subsidies. If you think that $120K per year is poor, than you are part of the problem.

 @8PJFJ2MNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

They should cut their taxes and make housing more affordable for poorer buyers, and get the money from taxing the rich

 @8NSJNJ6from Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

they should help people that need a home and who are living homeless and in shelters instead.

 @8NS8XRHNew Democraticfrom Nova Scotia  answered…4yrs4Y

I think the government should subsidize those who make much less than that. There should be a percentage calculation dependent on the income of the individual and how many people they support in their household.

 @8J638ZBNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…5yrs5Y

There should be prevention of foreign buyers buying homes that are not lived in. And more affordable housing.

 @8FZQSG3New Democraticfrom Manitoba  answered…5yrs5Y

It should mainly depend on how many people are living with you, your bills, and how many people you are regularly financially supporting.

 @8F74PNTNew Democraticfrom Quebec  answered…5yrs5Y

it depends on how much less than $120K it is like if they work a minimum wage job.

 @8DDJKTQfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

everyone should get what they need contribute what they can and if we have more than needed give them more

 @9CMSLDJNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but the government should limit the amount of houses they can subsidize for an individual (the individual can still buy more houses but the government will not subsidize)

 @9BD3ZDLanswered…2yrs2Y

No, but bring down house prices through other means, i.e. building more affordable homes.

 @99HZCMTNew Democraticfrom Nova Scotia  answered…2yrs2Y

yes if neccessary but they should lower the prices of homes if possible

 @99CXF76New Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

 @99CB6T9New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

No, and the government should limit the number of homes that can be bought by...

 @995R5ZFfrom Newfoundland  answered…2yrs2Y

I don't have much of an opinion about this, it depends on a lot, how any kids you have, if you are in a relationship with someone who makes more or less, etc.

 @96STNJ4from British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

 @96QVWKMfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

 @8V76GNDNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Governments should set the rules that make home or land ownership possible without competing with corporations or wealthy individuals. Governments should put ceilings on dwelling rental rates that keep these rates balanced with income averages.

 @8SYDDSXfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8SBY9YHNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8QSRVJSLiberalfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes only if there aren't selling restrictions on the first home. There can be selling restrictions on the 2nd and 3rd homes. This will promote more economic mobility between the bracket.
