I think it should depend on the circumstances and past financial history and current circumstances.

 @9Z9ZCV7from Alberta  answered…2wks2W

I think it depends on why they are facing a foreclosure. If it is because they choose to live outside of their means then they should not receive assistance. If they are facing foreclosure because of job loss and are actively making an effort to help themselves then they should receive assistance.

 @9YKBYMXfrom Alberta  answered…2wks2W

Yes, only under specific circumstances and be strictly regulated to prevent irresponsible borrowing

 @9YK7T9Bfrom Alberta  answered…2wks2W

Yes, but there should be regulations on who can receive this assistance, for what reasons, and how many times.

 @9WK3LGVLiberalfrom British Columbia  answered…4wks4W

there should be some sort of assistance that one would apply for. I feel that some small assistance may help a family in a tight situation and get them back on track without a total loss.

 @9WGGM9Manswered…1mo1MO

depending on the scenario whether foreclosure is their fault or just an act of God, if it is their own fault than the government should not provide support, if it is truly an act of God then I believe that is when they need assistance.

 @9W4ZCYFfrom British Columbia  answered…1mo1MO

They should provide assistance only for properties up to a certain amount. If someone bought a luxury property and are spending well beyond their means and can afford to downsize, they should not be helped. But for average families in a small home, townhome or condo, should be helped.

 @9TC7PPGConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but the amount for foreclosure should vary depending on the person's income.

 @9TBC8JXfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Only if the homeowners are actually trying to pay bills instead of being lazy and on drugs/alcoholic/a gambler

 @9SKVQS8from British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Govt could buy out the property for resale so the homeowner does not lose everything

 @9QYHT2Wfrom British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

 @9QYCLZNfrom British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

 @9MKYHZ7from Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, however it should be in the strict form of a loan from the government and should not have the same advantages of paying off a mortgage set up by a lender

 @9VNSHWVfrom British Columbia  answered…1mo1MO

as long as the people can show that it is going to good use and they are using it for what it is intended. or if they have a good record

 @9VJ6C4Kfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only if it's is proven that they cannot afford to downsize based on a maximum number of residents in the household. (Id 3 families live in a large house and can't afford it, don't help them).

 @9VGPQW7from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

 @9V24PH5from Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

 @9TY279Wfrom New Brunswick  answered…2mos2MO

Yes but only if they are a low income family and/or they must meet certain criteria for this.

 @9TXBP2YIndependentfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Depends on circumstances, generally no. During a mass event such as pandemic yes.

 @9TSQNDVLiberal from British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

 @9RZPX67from Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

only people who are canadian born and under 150k. honest working class income

 @9RPPNG7from Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

Yes, but only if situations beyond the individuals control contributed to the risk of foreclosure.

 @9RMDWZQfrom Nova Scotia  answered…4mos4MO

 @9RC2QHKNew Democraticfrom Nova Scotia  answered…4mos4MO

 @9RBVDVTfrom Nova Scotia  answered…4mos4MO

Yes, but the homeowner will be placed in a mandatory financial management program.

 @9QZGVSTfrom Michigan  answered…4mos4MO

Yes. If large corporations are eligible for bailouts and financial aid when they can't pay their bills and interest, then so should homeowners.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

If you were struggling with a mortgage, how would assistance change your situation, and would it feel like a handout or a chance to rebuild?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

When some people receive help with their mortgage and others don't, do you think this creates an unfair situation, or is it just a necessary part of helping the most vulnerable?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

Could assistance programs for homeowners create a precedent where people take on loans they can't handle, or do they encourage responsibility by helping them get back on their feet?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

Have you ever known someone who experienced foreclosure, and how do you think such assistance programs might have helped or hurt them?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

Should there be a safety net for people who fall behind on their mortgage, or could that create a situation where some people take advantage of the system?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

How would losing homes in your community impact the neighborhood, and what value do you see in keeping people in their homes?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

Do you believe it's society's responsibility to help individuals facing financial hardship, or is it up to each person to handle their own debts?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

How would it feel to lose your family home due to unforeseen circumstances, and what steps do you think should be in place to prevent that situation?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

What role do you think compassion should play in addressing financial struggles, or should economic fairness be the primary focus when considering aid?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2mos2MO

In your opinion, does everyone deserve a second chance when it comes to financial mistakes, or should the consequences be final to teach financial responsibility?
