I am satisfied with the current amount of spending
@9W95NKD1mo1MO
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
@9W4GSVZ1mo1MO
yes, but homeless people are only allowed in if they can pass a test to check for alcohol or drugs.
@9VW59ZN1mo1MO
Instead of shelters, permanent housing needs to be the focus. Tiny home villages, houses under 250 sq ft. a bachelor type cottage which would be theirs as long as they followed the rules. Kept the area in and around their home clean, no fighting,etc. I worked with homeless people, once they have a permanent home, many get their pride back.
@9VJLW4G2mos2MO
No, they should decrease it and spend more on mental health services.
@9V7S9QX2mos2MO
We should increase fu ding for homeless services, not shelters.
@9V3ZDKC2mos2MO
No, privatize or make charities available for homeless shelters and services
@9TQYT752mos2MO
It is not a money issue it is an implementation issue. We spend lots of money on this already but it is not used properly
