No, most people who are in homeless shelters have other issues that have resulted in them needing these services. Instead, funding should be put towards mental health rehabilitation and respite centers where those who can no longer take care of themselves are given the dignity to recieve care. They are then empowered to become productive members of society in whatever level of support works for them.
@B2C6CJZ3wks3W
No, but they should reduce housing permitting and financial regulation process
@B2C5GJC 3wks3W
No, but increase services to help reform mentally ill and struggling homeless people
@B276TNN1mo1MO
invest in homeless people to get jobs, they pay back what they owe at a fixed rate after a 5 years.
@B25TXWW1mo1MO
No, they should direct the funding to building affordable housing instead, as it is a long term solution.
@B244VCM2mos2MO
No I do not think they should invest more in homeless shelters. But services to provide them with homes, that are not temporary fixes should be implemented.
@B23CRQ32mos2MO
We should ban homlessness and ensure everyone is housed.
@9ZVFKH62mos2MO
The government should moderately increase funding, but encourage homeless people to get at least minimum wage job
