No, they should direct the funding to building affordable housing instead, as it is a long term solution.
@B244VCM2wks2W
No I do not think they should invest more in homeless shelters. But services to provide them with homes, that are not temporary fixes should be implemented.
@B23CRQ32wks2W
We should ban homlessness and ensure everyone is housed.
@9ZVFKH64wks4W
The government should moderately increase funding, but encourage homeless people to get at least minimum wage job
@9ZR3M3T1mo1MO
It depends if the government has the money to increase the funding.
@9ZNZZY81mo1MO
Yes, bust statistics ought to govern how the funds are distributed. We have a lot of shelters for women and children, but nearly none for men. This despite the reality that upwards of 75% of unhoused homeless people are men.
@9ZHML2G1mo1MO
I am satisfied with the current amount of spending
@9W95NKD2mos2MO
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
