Do you think increasing funding for shelters will truly help, or will it lead to other challenges?
@9VDB2ZG7mos7MO
If you feed a kitten you'll have a full time cat on your hands
@9WFNZQ37mos7MO
It would be a good place to start with helping decrease poverty.

It would be a good place to start with helping decrease poverty.
It will lead to other challenges but everything leads to new challenges.
@9VD8L6FRepublican7mos7MO
I think it will lead to bigger problems, I think that the more we fund homeless shelters, the more the homeless take advantage of it and not want to leave or even try to get out of the shelter and start a new style of life
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
Why do you think homelessness persists despite efforts to provide shelters and services?
@9YGC24C6mos6MO
Capitalism. Putting people in homes is not profitable.
@9YGD4WGWomen’s Equality6mos6MO
I think we are still not doing enough to help the crisis
@9YGCZ896mos6MO
Lack of easy access for mental health opportunities
@9NKSMMZ 6mos6MO
Homeless shelters require those using them to be clean from drugs and do not allow people to bring drugs into the homeless shelter. Drug use is rampant in the homeless population.

How does seeing homelessness in your community influence your perspective on social responsibility?
@9YFKND66mos6MO
The more homeless I see, the more I feel we as a collective need to do better to prevent homelessness.
@9YFKG4H6mos6MO
Homelessness is the result of a mistake or problem based on an individual and their circumstances.
@9YFMWMP6mos6MO
Seeing homelessness in my community reinforces my sense of social responsibility, highlighting the need for collective action and support systems to address housing insecurity and promote equal opportunities for all.
@9YFLKTD6mos6MO
it shows that nobody cares and the people dot have the help they need
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
How would you feel if a close friend or family member experienced homelessness, and what would you do to support them?
@9TNV3NHRepublican8mos8MO
I would take them in and hope to get them a job so they can support themselves if I could support them in the meantime.
@9V73SRD8mos8MO
If a close friend or family member has experienced homeless I would probably help them to show on how to get a job first and then I will help them learn how to save money and how to spent the money well.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
Have you ever encountered or helped a homeless person, and how did that experience impact your view on homelessness?
@9TRZ94B8mos8MO
Yes, they are human beings struggling like the rest of us, they simply have a steeper hill to climb
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
Do you think more shelters are a short-term fix or part of a long-term solution to homelessness?
I believe this is a short-term solution, simply because the homeless citizens still won't have availability for jobs due to lack of transportation. The average citizen dealing with poverty still wouldn't be able to work for their community because they'd still have no true way to support themselves.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
What role do you believe government funding should play in solving homelessness?
@9TPNBHD8mos8MO
should not play any role in homelessness, should be left to states
