The state and local governments should be the ones to fund these operations, not the federal government. But if this is to be funded with taxpayer dollars, then there must be regulations and a plan to get homeless people out of the shelters and into a stable life so they can find full-time employment, start families, and contributes to the communities.

Yes, but not at the expense of addressing the root causes of homelessness or helping the homeless escape the streets.
@9SPH7BP1yr1Y
The government should increase funding for homeless shelters and services, further increasing money collected by the government due to the aid given to homeless people
@B6DTX5P2mos2MO
give homeless individuals the bare minimum and ensure that they get jobs and save their money to be self sufficent. If seriously mentally ill then we should institutionalize them
@B5X32CW3mos3MO
let people volunteer and donate to charities and organizations that help house and feed homeless individuals
@9XFZB3T11mos11MO
I feel that the government should increase funding for homeless shelters and services with terms that state the homeless should show a commitment to the program. If they break commitment, they are taken off the program and aren't allowed back for a certain amount of time.
@9WZD76G11mos11MO
No because many homeless refuse to stay in shelters because of its cost to them. I believe that they need to play some role in society and earn a wage
@9R46PYL1yr1Y
Yes, but only in cities. In towns, the principle responsibility should be on local charities and churches.
