Yes

 @9W2H9RNdisagreed…3mos3MO

I don't have one cause I don't agree that the gov should be bailing out people that made bad financial decisions.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...8mos8MO

No

 @9W2H9RNagreed…3mos3MO

They got themselves into a situation that they had not fully looked at all the possibilities and they over extended themselves. The consequences of these actions is to sell or go into foreclosure

 @9RKZCVBanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, but only in extreme situations, and as long as it does not encourage irresponsible borrowing, and is not unfair to those who pay their mortgages.

  @chachi_my_chachiLaboranswered…2mos2MO

They should provide it for a year or less, then stop. This way, if someone has fallen on tough times they can bounce back; if it's a pattern, they'll be foreclosed soon enough.

 @9Y3YFYZGreenanswered…2mos2MO

This depends on circumstances. If the banking system is allowed to loan money to people that can't afford it due to inaccurate forecasts by government and treasury, I suggest the government should take responsibility and provide assistance, especially for owner occupiers.

 @9X85PMZGreenanswered…3mos3MO

Yes, but only for low income persons or families. Wealthy persons are on their own and only have them selves to blame.

Yes, To those that only have one home ownership property in their name and currently reside in the home

 @9WKK2TManswered…3mos3MO

Yes but only those meeting very strict criteria as government cannot afford to bail out everyone. Government to help them to link into services to receive help for long term sustainability.

 @9WB73NCanswered…3mos3MO

Yes, but only in circumstance beyond the persons control ie: injury, sickness. NOT in circumstances of irresponsibility like drug addictions, drinking, smoking instead of paying mortgage repayments.

 @9W9N8RVGreenanswered…3mos3MO

Advices and budgetry assistsnces and consessions but not monitry payments. It could act as an underwriter.

 @9W5CK59Liberalanswered…3mos3MO

Yes - if they have a financial plan showing they have capacity to continue to pay after a short term issue.

 @9W5BFTXanswered…3mos3MO

Yes depending on their circumstances. If the person's house is foreclosed dur to their own neglect then no.. if it's because of severe hardship beyond their control then yes.

 @9SXQ3DLanswered…5mos5MO

This should be determined case by case looking using set guidelines that consider the homeowners situation

 @9SWQZYBDavid Pocockanswered…5mos5MO

 @9SDR7BFanswered…5mos5MO

Yes, but only if the homeowner reasonably attempted to repay their loan

 @9S4C9R9answered…5mos5MO

Yes. but they should be means tested. not every rich person requires government assistance. They just need to live below their means.

Yes, as long as it is not unfair to those that pay their mortgages, and irresponsible borrowing is not encouraged.

Yes, but only for low-income families who desperately need it, and if it does not encourage irresponsible borrowing or is not unfair to those who pay their mortgages.

 @9MNGLR7answered…8mos8MO

No, instead incentivise insurance companies to do so, with strict guidelines and rules in place to deter irresponsible borrowing.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How would it feel to lose your family home due to unforeseen circumstances, and what steps do you think should be in place to prevent that situation?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

When some people receive help with their mortgage and others don't, do you think this creates an unfair situation, or is it just a necessary part of helping the most vulnerable?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

If you were struggling with a mortgage, how would assistance change your situation, and would it feel like a handout or a chance to rebuild?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

In your opinion, does everyone deserve a second chance when it comes to financial mistakes, or should the consequences be final to teach financial responsibility?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Could assistance programs for homeowners create a precedent where people take on loans they can't handle, or do they encourage responsibility by helping them get back on their feet?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

What role do you think compassion should play in addressing financial struggles, or should economic fairness be the primary focus when considering aid?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Have you ever known someone who experienced foreclosure, and how do you think such assistance programs might have helped or hurt them?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Should there be a safety net for people who fall behind on their mortgage, or could that create a situation where some people take advantage of the system?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How would losing homes in your community impact the neighborhood, and what value do you see in keeping people in their homes?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

Do you believe it's society's responsibility to help individuals facing financial hardship, or is it up to each person to handle their own debts?
