Assistance programs help homeowners who are at risk of losing their homes due to financial difficulties by providing financial support or restructuring loans. Proponents argue that it prevents people from losing their homes and stabilizes communities. Opponents argue that it encourages irresponsible borrowing and is unfair to those who pay their mortgages.
@9VNSHWV1wk1W
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
@9TXBP2YIndependent4wks4W
Depends on circumstances, generally no. During a mass event such as pandemic yes.
@9TW9ZRM4wks4W
Yes, but support should only be on a case by case basis.
Bad financial planning is of no fault to the government
@9TRYKHLNew Democratic4wks4W
The government should invest in social and public housing.
@9TP4HNW1mo1MO
Only if the homeowners can show that they use the money for proper uses.
@9TC7PPGConservative1mo1MO
Yes, but the amount for foreclosure should vary depending on the person's income.
@9TBC8JX1mo1MO
Only if the homeowners are actually trying to pay bills instead of being lazy and on drugs/alcoholic/a gambler
@9SKVQS82mos2MO
Govt could buy out the property for resale so the homeowner does not lose everything
@9QYHT2W3mos3MO
No, they should not own the home if they can't pay for it.
@9QYCLZN3mos3MO
If it’s possible and people don’t take advantage of it, sure.
@9MKYHZ75mos5MO
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
@9VJ6C4K2wks2W
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).
@9VGPQW72wks2W
Yes if the foreclosure is due to inflation rather than not working
@9V24PH53wks3W
If they do not have enough money to keep the place running.
@9TY279W4wks4W
Yes but only if they are a low income family and/or they must meet certain criteria for this.
@9RZPX672mos2MO
only people who are canadian born and under 150k. honest working class income
@9RPPNG73mos3MO
Yes, but only if situations beyond the individuals control contributed to the risk of foreclosure.
@9RMDWZQ3mos3MO
It would have be a case by case and involve a lot of grey area
@9RC2QHKNew Democratic3mos3MO
Yes, unless that homeowner has more than one home.
@9RBVDVT3mos3MO
Yes, but the homeowner will be placed in a mandatory financial management program.
@9QZGVST3mos3MO
Yes. If large corporations are eligible for bailouts and financial aid when they can't pay their bills and interest, then so should homeowners.
@9W4ZCYF2 days2D
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.
@9W2QDRF3 days3D
Yes, assuming the owner's don't own multiple properties, etc
