Should the government increase funding for homeless shelters and services?

Increased funding would enhance the capacity and quality of shelters and services that provide support for homeless individuals. Proponents argue that it provides essential support for the homeless and helps reduce homelessness. Opponents argue that it is costly and may not address the root causes of homelessness.

The unfamiliar surroundings, lack of privacy, and constant noise can exacerbate mental health conditions and cause further emotional distress.

Do you think increasing funding for shelters will truly help, or will it lead to other challenges?
