Homeless Opinions 2
1.
Which of the statements best captures your opinion about the country's responsibility towards housing?
Housing is, or should be, a right and guaranteed for all persons
While housing cannot be a right, the country should do all it can to prioritize housing for all

2.
Which of these statements best describes your assessment of the VI-SPDAT initiative?
It has been critical to prioritizing and housing the most vulnerable homeless persons
It is a good tool, but not a panacea to prioritizing services
The VI-SDPAT contains biases and duplication from HMIS that don't make it really worth the amount of effort
I am not familiar enough with VI-SPDAT to comment

Do you support the conversion of Transitional facilities into Permanent Housing?
Yes, definitely, most of them
Yes, some of them
No, definitely not
Not sure
4.
What is your opinion of the Chronic Homeless definition?
It is a good definition that helps identify chronically homeless persons
It is a somewhat difficult definition to implement and misses some chronically persons
It is a ridiculous definition since it assumes homeless persons can recall information accurately and intake workers can assess diabilities
