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.

Waster Junkies who piss everything against the wall and have no intentions of contributing to society
@9Z988VM2wks2W
Under the Universal Decleration of Human Rights Article 17.2 and Article 25.1, housing/ shelter is a basic fundamental human right.
@9YN9HDF2wks2W
It keeps people off the streets and safe in a shelter where they can get the help they need and the streets look more aesthetically pleasing.
@9X47BZY3wks3W
homeless shelters help keep people out fo the cold and off the streets which in turn help the aesthetic look of places and if they use drugs to help them stop
@9YHX28T2wks2W
no, but focus these funds on the root causes of homelessness and work to abolish these
@9ZL62W5Social Democrats6 days6D
Homeless charities should be merged, there are too many and money wasted on admin and inefficiencies
@9ZKSZGFPBB Solidarity6 days6D
Everyone should have their own front door and a safe place to live where they don't have to interact with other people if they don't want to. No one should be forced to choose between a hostel and the street.
@9ZKQ2JJIndependent7 days7D
They should increase social and regular housing to tackle homelessness rather than find temporary solutions
@9ZK88YP7 days7D
They should reanalyse how they’re locating their funds, emphasising creating shelters for women and children separate from couples and single men
@9ZK3TL8Social Democrats7 days7D
Yes but the priority should be on making housing affordable and tackling the root causes of homelessness
@9ZJWFDDIndependent1wk1W
they should prioritise making homes available to >everyone< instead of giving out crumbs in the form of shelters etc.
Only if fund management is analyzed and managed properly, lots of funding goes to it but very little to show
Yes, but don’t let this money take away from providing better housing all in all, shelters are not an end solution
@9ZH47J41wk1W
Yes, both invest in specific facilities for families, and separate facilities/rehabilitation centres for those who might suffer from addiction (drugs, alcohol, gambling)
@9ZCWMGK2wks2W
The government should focus their full attention and funding on fixing the housing crisis
At this stage people are also going homeless cause rent is so high, landlords are selling and people have no choice but to go to a hotel or shelters so dunno what to answer.
@9ZCMV9T2wks2W
Only for Irish citizens with issues with a pathway for them to improve and reintegrate with society and they have to do community work as compensation
@9ZCMB3V2wks2W
No they should invest in housing and figure out a way to reduce the cost of living while also increasing addiction support
@9ZCGMJ52wks2W
Yes but also address the underlying issues that cause homelessness
@9ZCGD4S2wks2W
Instead of throwing money at the problem they need to solve the problem
@9ZC5GZ72wks2W
Yes, more facilities and more individual facilities (men, women, youth, drug,illness)
@9ZBRFXY2wks2W
Yes but only in cases of making them more safe, people are scared to sleep there in the fear of being robbed or raped
@9ZBR5JR2wks2W
The government should increase funding for housing so there are less homeless people
@9ZBKYXV2wks2W
They should invest in this but also invest more into the housing crisis
They should put money into homes for them rather than homeless shelters
@9ZBC6H42wks2W
who's going to be paying for it? tax payers id assume...
@9ZBB9F42wks2W
There are thousands of vacant homes that can be used to house both the homeless and asylum seekers
@9Z9RW6G2wks2W
Housing as whole needs increasing not just homeless
@9Z9FXJP2wks2W
There should be greater initiatives to allow homeless citizens to open a bank account and to allow them the ability to enter the workforce offering them the opportunity to afford more permanent accommodation.
@9Z98ZYJ2wks2W
Money should go into making housing to solve the problem instead of keeping these people reliant on services that keep them in the same situation
@9YN4TG32wks2W
Increase funding to house the homeless rather than simply keep them unhoused and provide services
@9YMHT6K2wks2W
More of a focus should be placed on preventing people becoming homeless in the first place
@9YMFF8M2wks2W
No, because the shelters don’t do enough. Offer more workshops and opportunities for them to resolve their situation and grow life skills so they can prosper
@9YM36GRSocial Democrats2wks2W
Yes while preparing to build on affordable housing
@9YLWWGY2wks2W
Yes, but focus on housing crisis for everyone including older people, disabled people, and family's
@9YLMB6V2wks2W
Government should increase spending on social housing so homeless shelters and services are not required. There shouldn't be anyone homeless in this country. End of.
@9XRVKFM2wks2W
The focus should be on eradicating homelessness, while prioritising the Irish.
@9XMLDKX3wks3W
Decrease the quantity of ngo’s involved in homelessness or unite them, then increase if it’s efficient to do so.
@9WYZGRS3wks3W
They should focus on eliminating homelessness in the first place
government has to find away to fix the problem rather than delayling the problem AND TAKE ACTION
@9NNW6TC6mos6MO
While I agree, it shouldnt need funding as there should be social housing available
@9NHJYPF6mos6MO
Yes, the government should provide free modular housing pods that are easy to install or easy to with little help with modern necessities and enroll users in a jobseeking, rent to buy programs on the small allotments these tiny homes would sit on.
@9MQZN536mos6MO
Yes, but the focus should be on providing housing for un-housed people that is free at point of entry
@9ZCZZ2V2wks2W
They should, but stronger governance needs to be in place
@9ZCYSBG2wks2W
Funding of jobs and services to promote homeless to have a wage and safe living wuarters until able to move out. Not necessarily shelters

Yes and No. They need to sort out housing and the immigration system before throwing money at the problem
