It will help short term, but could pose challenges long term
@9W6QYD86mos6MO
Give people free houses. Society is about lifting up the underprivileged to bring future success upon the success of others not a London's Biggest Landlord contest.
@9W5QP386mos6MO
Increasing funding for homeless shelters will help as long as other efforts like lessons for finding housing and more help finding jobs.
@9W5MRBJ6mos6MO
I think it would mostly help their quality of life but might put off on going into housing, causing many homeless people to stay homeless and cause the number to increase which is negative.
Homeless people should be given housing over migrants and immigrants. Homeless shelters should be turned into food banks where people can get food and meals if they cannot afford it
@9VYLKNF6mos6MO
I may recommend lessons to help them recover from homelessness and any addictions
@9VY8CNN6mos6MO
Funding homeless shelters is not enough on it's own but it still should be enacted. It will help mitigate the issue of homelessness, but on its own it is not enough.
Give people free housing. There's your solution. Stop commoditizing housing
@9VTH2KM6mos6MO
no as the real problem is no one can afford anything.
@9VTFHSM6mos6MO
I think it'd help but where would the money come from?
@9VSYZ2X6mos6MO
I think homeless shelters should get enough funding for normal operations, but no more.
@9VMSTFG6mos6MO
Yes it will help because people could be paid to work at the shelters instead of relying on volunteers, and better services overall can be provided.
@9VM9W8B6mos6MO
It will help but better management of funds and efficiency will better help
@9VLN2L6Liberal Democrat6mos6MO
It will help as a temporary measure shelters are temporary and never intended to be long term. So funding for additional spaces would be beneficial to take people of the streets but there needs to be more backing into migrating the homeless population back into society with the right support.
@9VJHY48 6mos6MO
We need to encourage the homeless to find jobs, assuming they are physically able to do so.
@9VCN67Y6mos6MO
Yes, increasing funding for shelters can decrease the amount of homeless on the streets
@9V9J55S6mos6MO
Yes, help people have a clean and safe place to stay whilst
it will help, less homeless people will freeze to death in winter or starve
@9V2RQZD6mos6MO
I believe that homeless people should receive a second chance, if they are shown to improve they can be provided help otherwise they shouldn't receive help. They shouldn't receive financial support in any way but housing.
@9WM6R895mos5MO
Shelters can be important, but the government must pursue a housing first policy and begin constructing new social housing projects
@9WHW2MN5mos5MO
Increasing funding for shelters would only make a different to the homeless people who want the shelter and not the ones who just want alcohol and drugs. Homeless people are homeless for a reason and should get a job.
@9WG7W9M5mos5MO
At large enough scales, every solution has it's problems.
@9WCVG5Y5mos5MO
It will help give homeless people the chance to start a new
@9VRPWV26mos6MO
I think funding needs to be instead focused into helping homeless people get jobs and re enter society.
@9VPSDHY6mos6MO
it will help, but the money should be used to fund prgrams to get people out of homelessness rather than keeping htem in with high quality housing
@9VPQLMGLiberal Democrat6mos6MO
i believe that it will help homeless people get off the street and start from a clean slate. however i'm not certain that this could be a long term solution as they will need to make a living for themselves rather than living off of funds/other tax payers for benefits.
@9VPQB786mos6MO
it will lead to other challenges but it will also be of big help in many ways
