Yes, but not at the expense of addressing the root causes of homelessness or helping the homeless escape the streets.
@9RBYKN74 days4D
Yes, but only for shelters that prove effective in coordinating with other programs that help people get out of homeless.
@9L4Z23B 6 days6D
Yes, state governments should support initiatives but the responsibility lies with local governments to implement programs
@9R5L8996 days6D
Not until a full audit of past funding has been done. Governent has spent billions of dollars and situation has gotten worse not better.
@9R57PHW7 days7D
Yes, it is entirely possible to house the homeless of this country with proper re-allocation of fundings.
@9R49HL41wk1W
No, we should build affordable housing communities that people can apply for and will be drug-free and clean environments with security. Employees will be tasked with bringing homeless individuals to the community and the cities will become more homeless proof to incentivize the move to these communities.
