I feel that increasing funding for shelters will help for now, but I feel that number could possibly be lowered over time if mental health resources were more readily available, if housing prices weren't so high, and if more services to combat drug addiction were put in place.

Our economy is such a mess right now, a great number of our population has gone through a lot in recent years, especially with covid. Wages are not keeping up with the price of inflation, and tensions are running high. I feel this is not making things any easier to help our homeless population.
