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.

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.

No, they should decrease it and spend more on mental health services.
@9V7S9QX3wks3W
We should increase fu ding for homeless services, not shelters.
@9V3ZDKC3wks3W
No, privatize or make charities available for homeless shelters and services
@9TQYT754wks4W
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
@9TM3JNP1mo1MO
Yes but only available to those in need, not criminals who are homeless as a result of their poor choices/crimes.
@9TC7PPG1mo1MO
Yes, but they should check the profiles of the homeless people.
@9T5VKB41mo1MO
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.
