Do you think increasing funding for shelters will truly help, or will it lead to other challenges?

i believe we must fix a social core, in which homeless people cannot work and must become freelancers. we must allow the homeless to work, and currently the people most easily applicable are ones in shelter, with ability of proper hygiene, and presentability within these shelters.

I think it will truly help. Though rules should be implemented, such as staying drug free in order to take care of the program.

I think it will help those get off the street. However, there should be more funding for homeless who have mental health issues.

It will lead to other challenges, as people will see it as a free way out, instead of trying themselves. Getting a new home and new job.

It will make them dependant on homeless shelters it would be better for them to get jobs and train them.

I think that it could possibly help help homeless people to get back on their feet if they have shelter over their head.

We need to focus more on the prevention of homelessness instead of funding shelters.

It'll help, but a large portion of that money should also be allocated towards helping the homeless get on their feet.

Lead to more challenges. Deal with the housing market

i dont think it would help because it gives homless people less motivation to work

I think it will help, especially if you give the homeless volunteer chances. That would allow them to feel like a part of society again

I believe increasing funding for shelters will hopefully help.

Increasing funding means that more shelters will be able to operate, and said shelters can afford better care as well.

This will assist more homeless people to "Get back on their feet" theoretically.

i think it would help as in Canada we are in a home crisis.

I believe that funding for the homeless would work if used properly, supplying them with safe spots to get high doesn't give them a job, a meal, etc. Funding for addiction prevention, shelter, and food could lead to an increase in homeless people turning their lives around.

I think getting people the help they need is what is important, so investing more into rehabilitation programs and getting the drugs off our streets because Canada is literally turning into Zombieland with all these homeless people drugged up in our streets.

I think we should identity, track and use proven strategies to help the homeless

I believe it wouldnt help very much because there is just way too many homeless people. it wouldnt lead too more challenges but it wouldnt help much.

Yes, but we need to put in place supervisors, a curfew and on-site therapy to regulate violence and crime

Nope, it will only keep them homeless. Influencing and making it easier to be homeless is not the answer.

No. Most of them are drug addicts nontheless, and it would cause problems for people who don't like each other.

Yes but those funds need to be distributed in a manner that will have a lasting impact on the homeless population

it could help in some ways but It could also make it worse

I believe it could help with housing homeless people, and getting them on track in life.

it will not do much but maybe reduce violence and deaths on the streets

Yes increasing the funds for the homeless will help for a better life however they should be certain regulations in place to understand the background of the homeless person prior to increasing funds. The funds that are given to the homeless should be used for the betterment and improved living, instead of the funds being spent on harmful substances that decreases their life style.

I think funding for shelters might lead to other challenges

Im not too sure. Increasing homeless shelter will most likely clear the streets but not the issue of drug addiction.

no I think why will end up over flooding with homeless people

In my opinion, the statistics support the fact that men make up the bulk of the actual homeless. Yet there are fewer and fewer men's shelters out there for them. We should be investing the bulk of our money and efforts where the statistics support the need, and not simply deferring to political pandering.

yes it will help them to get a home and it will help them to find a job

It could help to get better supplies and help homeless people more.

yes increasing funds and also fewer rules in shelters so it does feel like a jail

I do believe increasing funding for shelters will help. Sometimes all a person needs is the first step to start getting better.

I think increased funding for prevention is better.

I believe homeless shelters need stricter rules, the amount of people who live there and threaten everyone in there is actually insane. Theres been people bringing guns and knives into shelters and almost nothing happens except for them getting kicked out.

Increasing the funding would help the homeless live better, and give them a place to help get back on their feet

Increasing it will help people in need, but at the same time people could take advantage of it when they don't need it, but I think increasing the funding to help the shelters will help the homeless people, but the government or higher official should be able to monitor where the funding is spent.

I think increasing the funding would not do much, and that the homeless situation would stay the same

It depends where the funding goes and how it is used I think it could helf provide homeless shelters more food and clothes for people in need.
