Generally b/c quotas may force undesirable outcomes. For example, if a city is going through economic downturns, then a quota may strain public funds. Furthermore, I believe public housing has been mismanaged in cities across the country. Until such time we provide for more strict rules on housing so people don’t trash the homes, I am generally opposed to more funding for public housing. First step, pass laws to strictly regulate housing then we can look to fund more houses but it should be contingent on the surplus of each city so as to maintain an a continued ability of a city.Read Less

This can help reduce homelessness by providing stable living conditions for those struggling to find housing. In addition to housing quotas, cities could invest in supportive services such as mental health care, job training, and addiction recovery programs. These services can empower individuals to address underlying issues that contribute to homelessness and help them reintegrate into society.Read Less
