Yes, but money should be focused to the families that have a low 'combined' income

 @9TPPX3Qfrom Alberta  answered…7mos7MO

No, but massively increase home building, make it illegal for corporations to buy residential properties and tax individuals owning >1 residential property at 50% the value of every non-residence property annually.

 @8NYJNV3from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

The government should limit the number of homes that can be bought by a single person or group

 @B4NWTNKfrom Alberta  answered…4 days4D

just find a way to lower the cost of living, including finding a home, condo, townhouse of any size.

 @B4KG6HTfrom Alberta  answered…1wk1W

Yes, for first time home buyers and with other criteria taken into account. Especially in favor of single parents/families

 @B4H5T5Zfrom Alberta  answered…2wks2W

The subsidies should be on a sliding scale less for the higher income and more for the least income.

 @B4BF3T3from Alberta  answered…3wks3W

Yes Ona first home and no subsidies to corporations or other individuals in the rental business. Subsidies only on a person's first home

 @B49LKNYfrom Alberta  answered…3wks3W

i think that we should focus more so on making housing affordable for what we currently have, as well as making it so renting is a less lucrative buisness

 @B486XBXfrom Alberta  answered…3wks3W

No because home prices should be brought in line with incomes. This could only make the situation worse.

 @B4577M9from Alberta  answered…4wks4W

Government shouldn't subsidize home buyers making less than 120k, but should limit the number of homes that can be bought by people and corporations

 @B43SXTX from Alberta  answered…4wks4W

Subsidize homebuyers but tie it to increasing housing supply, ensuring developers build more affordable housing.

Limit subsidies to first-time buyers in high-cost areas, rather than offering blanket assistance.

Encourage rent-to-own programs instead of direct subsidies, allowing gradual ownership.

Increase funding for affordable housing construction, which addresses the root problem rather than just demand.

Implement tax reforms to discourage speculation, such as higher taxes on empty homes or multiple properties.

 @B34YX9Nfrom Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only if individuals are financially supporting unemployed members of their family as small as 3 individuals.

 @B2VDNWTNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

depends on the price of utilities, groceries, the state of the economy, and the amount of people living in the home.

 @B2QVV6HConservativefrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

if you're a citizen of Canada then no, all people should be able have somewhere to live, but taking away Holmes for foreigners isn't right

 @B2LW7QGfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Government shouldn’t be involved it telling people what to do with their money. If they lowered income taxes for people who make under 100,000 as well as stopped causing mass immigration & the housing crisis the incompetent government created, people would be able to afford to buy their homes as they have in the past without government subsidies. Government subsidies only lead to increased taxes.

 @B2DQSLR from Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

No, instead housing should be more regulated to slow down inflation and cut high prices on houses not to guarantee housing for all but rather to give everyone a better opportunity to own a house

 @B2C4372from Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

I believe that the government should subsidize peoples housing under the liveable wage to get to the liveable wage.

 @B24CB2Jfrom Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

Maybe. Needs more thought and proper policy but this could be a good idea. Qualification is important.

 @9YDGG9Xfrom Alberta  answered…5mos5MO

If it was an investigated troubled family I would subsidize give them compensation, however if its a junky, or genuine lazy person I do not believe in subsidization.

 @9T7XY37from Alberta  answered…7mos7MO

Yes but not increase interest or taxes because the reason for why housing prices have doubled was Trudeau letting too many immigrants in and there not being enough houses for'em.

 @9T3R3V9from Alberta  answered…7mos7MO

the cost of homes shouldn't be so expensive to the point where the government has to subsidize in the first place

 @9LD8F4Qfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

No, and reduce inflation, stop immigration, and send everyone who’s immigrated here in the last 10 years back to their home countries so that we can have our country back for ourselves—less people is what we need, not more homes.

 @9JT36CNfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

their should be a regulation on housing bought buy foreign party's not in Canada or come to Canada using them as investments

 @9JRN9GNfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

It should be given to people with fair reasons for it, but there should be a time limit on how long the government provides this

 @9JK53DWfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

Housing should have a cap on how much builders and private sellers can sell for everyone deserves a warm place to sleep

 @9GBGRC6from Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes if the base cost of living in Canada exceeds a threshold. Currently, this would be of help to current or potential home owners

 @9G9MRGSfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

The govt’t should subsidize homebuyers by allowing low-interest mortgages for households who make less than 100k per year.

 @9FT9JTLfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

If they are making a really low income, then yes, if they are making steady income and wasting it no

 @9F5KMPVfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

The government should make it easier for low income people to buy a house. Owning a house shouldn't be a luxury for the rich. Low income people need help affording homes.

 @9F4FD4Pfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

I would agree that if someone makes under a certain amount of money from their job they should get some aid when it comes to owning a house, but I feel like this could be supported in different ways. Such as slightly higher pay in certain jobs or circumstances depending on the individuals life style.

 @9DK3RYTfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

 @9ZMMC23from Alberta  answered…5mos5MO

There is merit in supporting people with lower incomes buy homes. However it is not to the benefit of the buyer if they do not have the means of owning the home.

 @9VSW6DKfrom Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

Anybody who makes less than $80,000 a year should get subsidies from the government especially if they are first-time homebuyers.

 @9TMG6K4from Alberta  answered…7mos7MO

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

 @9GVKBFKfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

This would not be a concern if government made practical decisions to begin with. Housing is over-priced and inflation is out of control. Immigration is to high to support the system.

 @9FNDHRTfrom Alberta  answered…2yrs2Y

No, I think to government shouldn’t limit it but should check for credit and make sure they’re able to maintain a home.

 @95ZWDQ5from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

If that home buyer makes less than the amount stated but more that 80 thousand the government should take close consideration at financial situation if willing.

 @95YXWKKfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

I think it depends on if they have kids and where they’re finances would be going otherwise

 @95S3LKVfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

The government should not subsidize people Base on how mich they earn.Evreryone should be treated as equally high or low income

 @95QV4HJfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

 @95QKZXPfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

The government should treat any home buyers as equal whether your earn more or less.

 @95NGKFNfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Depends on situation ex. do they have under-age children, single parent etc

 @95MZNW7New Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @95GGRLNfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

No Government should actually put effort into lowering average home prices.

 @942RRBVfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Dealing with housing in general is important. Purchasing might or might not be the right way.

 @93GL8JKfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

I think if we looked at how we lend money and what requirements need to be met to borrow money we could be helping lower income families buy homes. For example if you have been paying $1500 in rent for over a year and never missed a payment why can you not qualify for a home costing the same monthly amount.

 @93D7M4Qfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

No. Instead, they should work on regulating the housing market to make it more accessible/affordable.

 @93BYD87from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

i think there should be government subsidization for those who are making less than 95k, not 120k.

 @933LMPXfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

 @92M8FFHfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Subsidize up to a certain percent on a house based off persons income and value of house, as well as prevent the number of residential properties that can be purchased by a single person or corporation (for traditional homes). With regards to condo's and apartments a person or corporation can own multiple but a limit must be put on how many are allowed to be used for short term rent applications/programs like AirBNB. Abandoned&condemned properties should be purchased by the provincial or federal government and turned into low income housing to help combat homelessness.

 @922KMBPfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Home buyers should be subsidized at a lower annual income. If you make more than 50k per year you don't get it. Also people should not be allowed to own more than 2 homes.

 @8ZX5HSVLiberalfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, while also supporting the research and construction of affordable housing.

 @8VZCTFDfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No it’s not the governments job to pay for your living/life style so people can be lazy burdens.

 @8VW4MBQfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

The government should make rental properties more readily available and implement a rent cap to keep lower income household from being priced out of the market.

 @8VST53Wfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but only if they are salary is in a low tax bracket and the city they live in has extremely high housing prices

 @8VSPZRBfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes but should also include single income families and increase it to 150k

 @8VRLFZVfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, governments should cap costs of homes. And they should limit the number of homes that can be purchased.

 @8VNTKY4from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8VMW8L8Conservativefrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

a better option would be to encourage the removal of outdated bi laws on single family dwellings...because immigrants can take advantage of breaking these bi laws..then 2 or more family's could afford to buy a home and expand home ownership to accommodate the multiple families.

 @8VMDF2Rfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

yes and no because its not fair to people who make more money has to pay more

 @8VKVKXKfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8VHWNG5from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Should at least offer help to qualify for buying a home and pay the CMHC interest for home buyers making under this amount per year.

 @8VHT6DMfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Depends on whether the person is doing the best he can or society or being lazy of his own accord

 @8VHKSPVfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

You should be able to apply for subsidized housing based on low income with easier access then there is currently

 @8VHJRXVfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

the government should subsidize for people who make less then a liveable wage

 @8VHJHZ5from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

no, the national debt is to great for that right now but maybe after the debt.

 @8VHBF52from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

120k is a lot and very stable annually amount. For one person 120k is a great amount, this is situational as if they're a single parent or have disabilities.

 @8VH22SVfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8VGW3YYfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

I do agree that they should subsidize people who make less then 120k but then the taxes that come with that have to be regulated to the rich not the middle class.

 @8VGQKJSLiberalfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8VD2S4Kfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8VD2G4RPeople’sfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but should provide incentives to provide more options for low-income individuals and groups in terms of housing.

 @8VCGFFVfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No, but help change the housing market to reduce overall costs. Reduce developers control. Less condos with tiny spaces. More wheelchair accessible homes. More affordable homes. A home should be alright of all citizens, not a privilege
