There is a particular phenomenon in Quebec, namely community support for housing. This support is particularly given to people experiencing homelessness.
However, the statistics tell us that if we simply find housing for a person who has lived on the street for years, but we don't help them make a budget, pay their rent, pay their bills, and so on, that person is very likely to return to the street after a few months. So people who have experienced homelessness need to get used to having a normal life. If we fund this community support—and in Quebec, we do it well—it leads to savings in social costs, particularly in health care.
Can you tell us more about this community support?
