Idc where the funding comes from, government, charities, etc. As long as there’s funding for these services.
@9ZSVZT24wks4W
Yes, But they should not only increase the funding of this but other areas too to alleviate stress on these shelters and services.
@9ZL34PS1mo1MO
Yes, but they should keep a register of people and give priority to people who are actually trying to improve their situation.
@9TQ5HHD3mos3MO
Yes, as long as it helps to address the root causes of homelessness.
@9SWQZYB4mos4MO
Yes, this is pressing during the cost of living crisis and keeps people out of the criminal system
@9SSSYLG4mos4MO
Solve the problems roots. Fix housing crisis, drug problems, spread out the population.
@9SSSWJL4mos4MO
Yes, only to a limited extent that is sufficient enough to provide for the homeless population.
@9MYFHGP7mos7MO
Whilst I believe that increasing funding for homeless shelters and services would be good at least on the surface, I don't think it addresses the root cause of homelessness. Instead, as I said earlier in this test, housing (along with all basic human needs for survival) should be guaranteed by a Universal Basic Needs Guarantee.
