This is in fact a significant problem and it doesn't only exist at the federal level. We are currently experiencing problems with the HPI because we have a very short time period to act. As I told you earlier, we have a 15-month maximum period. That is not enough time to bring about any real change and any long-term results.
Furthermore, there is extensive uncertainty with respect to funding for these organizations because these programs are hardly ever renewed, and this creates significant instability in terms of human resources. We put considerable focus on the connection between staff and homeless people. It is often the quality of that connection that determines whether an individual will get off the street or not. These relationships of trust, that already take an extremely long time to develop, are seriously compromised if there is a lot of staff turnover and this in turn compromises the effectiveness of our involvement.
