I think there is enough housing in Kenora for low income families. I think there are too many condos as well. There are always houses for sale or rent. We should start using what we already have. |

I think that there should be more funding for low income families and individuals. There is a social and economic cost to having people on the street too. |

Maybe if the local reserves did not ban their own people off the reserves, there would not be so many hanging out around the mall, post office and green space across the street. They have a place to go if their reserves would take them back and look after their own. |

We live in Canada, not the U.S. They think of our country as a 'Socialist' regime as we are taxed very high and the government looks after everyone's well-being. I happen to think that's one of the great things about our country. Yes, we need to provide housing for those who need it. If you're reading this, you probably don't need it nor can you walk a mile in 'their' shoes. Provide housing, help people, build better communities. It's money well spent. Remember the old saying, "There but by the grace of god go I". Think about it. |

Maybe for middle income too! I work hard but after my mortgage payment, I have little left over. |

The people on the street with addictions and mental health issues are totaly different than people that want to work and need help. Addictions and mental health require a different strategy and support. In my view, hard core alcoholics (like we see downtown) are not bad people, but are self destructive. |

Once it starts it only goes on and on and the government can never provide enough. The best bet is to help working people with subsidized day care and organized sports for the kids. Housing, heating, electricity, maintenance, replacement, administration, staffing - its all too much for taxpayers and government. |

I think most people think Kenora is a fun town and for the most part they're right, but I see a lot of homeless wayword souls that need a good place to sleep and a good meal. The government should help out. The GST collected each year could put the homeless in a nice home. |
