Do you approve of Governor Kotek's handling of the state's homeless crisis?
Yes
No
You can't keep giving to people without making them responsible. Everyone should have drug tests. Everyone should have to "give back" in some way. Either by getting a job, or volunteering to the community.

Only solves a portion of the real issue of mental health and alcohol and drug issues. Plus there is the concern that an influx of more homeless flooding up from the California, to get free services they are not getting there.

you must fix policy, not throw money at it. When you decriminalize hard drugs and sleeping on streets and let hard criminals out of jail it all adds up.

Oregon keeps throwing good money after bad, will not help. Recriminalize drugs , fund and respect police and how about having the homeless work..keep their camps clean, parks, other civic projects, require recurring drug tests.

Throwing good money after bad. Bring back crimalization of drugs, fund and respect for police, have the homeless work even if just cleaning their own camps, parks, etc, drug tests on a regular basis.

Tina Kotak needs to criminalize hard drugs and work on mental health that's causing homelessness and build more homeless shelters

Of course, this doesn't solve everything, but it's a good step. It is not going to cause an influx of homeless from CA. They are getting services in CA. No one wants to come to Bend and freeze in the winter with the hope of a shelter.
