Yes, only if shown that the services provided to homeless is effective and helps them get back into the real world
@9YGXH8R7mos7MO
I think that we should only increase funding a bit to see if it will help with the housing crisis and if it does then increase only bits of money as to not waste money for nothing.
@9YGP5RVWomen’s Equality7mos7MO
Yes, but only if that person is not on any drug or has gotten clean and Is not a harm to anybody else.
@9YBL76J7mos7MO
Provide help to those who are hardworking and want a better life, but not to those who don't want to make their life better.
@9Y3SZSL 7mos7MO
Yes, but making sure that programs are set in place so that people receiving those services become productive members of society and those that can't, are able to receive the medical help that they need.
@9XMV7FK7mos7MO
No, increase funding for low income housing and create stricter laws around renting and the amount of houses that companies can own to increase the supply of the housing market and support low income families who have to rent.
@9X453XJ 7mos7MO
Yes, but also create a system that provides information from organization that is receiving to provide the results of it services, where is the money allocate to and changes that hope to implement when receiving the funding. Of course, with random government check ins
@9X427P97mos7MO
Yes, and these shelters and services need to understand how to best help homeless people on their terms.
@9W584347mos7MO
Yes but make sure the homeless are getting their needs met and not juts given what others think tey should get.
@9VR3KBB7mos7MO
The government shouldn't increase their funding by a lot maybe just a tiny bit more because some homeless don't want any shelters or housing since some do refuge so it won't be worth the funding if it's just going to go to waste.
@9T2F4WG9mos9MO
I think if the shelter needs more help and is really helping homeless people get on their feet then yes. But if the shelter is not helping and not showing success i don't think they should offer more funds.
@9RX943710mos10MO
No, because in retrospect it won't do much. Sure, it'll get them off the streets, but there won't be any significant change in the world.
@9RVQ9KWIndependent10mos10MO
The government should increase funding and focus on homeless veterans, homeless families, and homeless children.
@9T2GWGJ9mos9MO
Homeless people would deny housing so what is the point in funding something that people don't want.
