Yes, but they should keep a register of people and give priority to people who are actually trying to improve their situation.
@9TQ5HHD2mos2MO
Yes, as long as it helps to address the root causes of homelessness.
@9SWQZYB3mos3MO
Yes, this is pressing during the cost of living crisis and keeps people out of the criminal system
@9SSSYLG3mos3MO
Solve the problems roots. Fix housing crisis, drug problems, spread out the population.
@9SSSWJL3mos3MO
Yes, only to a limited extent that is sufficient enough to provide for the homeless population.
@9MYFHGP6mos6MO
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.
