Increased funding would enhance the capacity and quality of shelters and services that provide support for homeless individuals. Proponents argue that it provides essential support for the homeless and helps reduce homelessness. Opponents argue that it is costly and may not address the root causes of homelessness.

There should be universal basic income instead of welfare that covers basic necessities. Our current strategy isn't helping anyone get out of poverty or homelessness
@B46BJ883wks3W
funding is only part of the solution. we need a more developed plan to combat the causes for homelessness
@B2C6CJZ3mos3MO
No, but they should reduce housing permitting and financial regulation process
@9ZHML2G5mos5MO
I am satisfied with the current amount of spending
@9W95NKD6mos6MO
yes if they lost their house for a bad reason those who did drugs and gambled away all their money do not deserve a free place to live that is their consiquence others who have good intentions to get back on their feet are deserving of a place to stay
@9W4GSVZ6mos6MO
yes, but homeless people are only allowed in if they can pass a test to check for alcohol or drugs.
@9V7S9QX7mos7MO
We should increase fu ding for homeless services, not shelters.
@9TC7PPGConservative7mos7MO
Yes, but they should check the profiles of the homeless people.
@9T5VKB4Conservative7mos7MO
I feel what is being done is not helping. These people need mental health support, and a reset to living in a society, not rooting through garbage and living in the streets. They should have homes or a room even if it's in some sort of institution. Our city looks like a 3rd world country in some areas (Kelowna) They need to learn to support themselves, through job training and become productive members of society or they can't live in the cities we work and pay to live in.
Yes, for homeless not for drug addiction homelessness. There is a distinctive difference and the fact the government lumps this together is offensive to those struggling with homelessness due to low income and high house cost.

Get rid of safe injection sites and re allocate that wasted money
