A tax to support the homeless is essential to helping fix or alleviate the problem where I live. These people need support.

Every working class citizen is 1 paycheck away from homelessness. Without funding any resources, we are tacitly encouraging the problem.

Sam Ackerman

No they are not, if you are then that is YOUR problem. Spend less and save more.

There's no reason to tax certain households based on income to re-distribute wealth. These people need a different kind of help, and can make their own money eventually.

Sam Ackerman

Hello not, they are lazy, or people that chose to use drugs. Let them fix their own problems that they created for them self's. If do feel bad for the people with true mental issues,

OH please. Liberals want more and more handouts.

Only in the form of a sales tax, so that EVERYONE can share in the pain. I am sick & tired of taxes on no one but homeowners. It is unending!! I I wish OR would implement a sales tax.

I'm all for helping homeless people; I buy them food. But the help should be voluntary, not forced; their problems are their problems and different people have different values.

Brad Livsey

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I canvased 30 indigents recently to come rake needles for an afternoon, a nice meal with fair money paid.... NOT ONE took me up on my offer citing one failed excuse after another.

I agree with what others pointed out and that is, that until these ppl have somewhere else to go, let them be there.

Brittney Lent

Because there is not enough support or compassion for those whom have criminal records that can't get jobs because of and or even have there own name on a place of living or vehicle even if they were holding down a job and putting there lives back on track so why would I be agreed for closing

Julie Larocco

Don’t think there enough places for all of these people to go. Let them stay where they are with the services provided until there is a permanent safe stay place/solution.

Rich Niederhof

The expenditure per person is outrageous..calculate per 190 residents! Also what is the stated method to audit the success of this large spending of our taxes?
