Should the government provide assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure?

No

If it's their only house and are going to be homeless without help

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Yes, assuming the owner's don't own multiple properties, etc

Only if the homeowners can show that they use the money for proper uses.

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

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

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

No, they should not own the home if they can't pay for it.

If it’s possible and people don’t take advantage of it, sure.

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

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

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).

Yes if the foreclosure is due to inflation rather than not working

If they do not have enough money to keep the place running.

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

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

Yes, but support should only be on a case by case basis.

Bad financial planning is of no fault to the government

The government should invest in social and public housing.

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

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

It would have be a case by case and involve a lot of grey area

Yes, unless that homeowner has more than one home.

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

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

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?

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?

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?

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

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?

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

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?

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?

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

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?
