It's not a matter of funding. It's a matter of choice.
If, however, "candidates" choose to spend what is given to them on drink or drugs they have made their choice but even then many large towns and cities provide el-cheepo tents to give some protection.
Me? I'd let them just deal with the consequences of their choice.

Re: Homelessness
One factor could be the USA delaying covid funding for people during the pandemic over and over again by Biden.The other part is Biden allowing so may people into the USA by reversing Trumps border controls. I suspect there are many homeless people from over the border in the USA now, just like we see in France, Italy, Greece etc in the EU because of their open immigration/border policies.
Biden yeah

Re: Homelessness
It is easy for people to criticize the homeless, but they rarely have any knowledge of what put them in that position!
I am sure all of us have made mistakes in life, but if there is no help how can they hope to find a home.
For those people who think it is their own fault I would suggest they try living on the streets for a month, to find out how hard it is. Their ignorance shows a lack knowledge & a distinct lack of humanity.
I am sure that many homeless people lost their lives during the winter months of the pandemic & applaud all organizations that give them the chance to lead a normal life with a roof over their heads.
Danny I think the tent cities are a first step towards getting people a home & I wish them well!
