Indigenous Services Canada has reported on this. There is information in the 2024 Auditor General's report. I would recommend it to anyone if they're looking for a clear understanding of the housing situation facing first nations. The lack of an indigenous housing strategy, a strategy to close the first nations housing gap, is one of the core findings of the Auditor General's report. There have been successes, I think, in the distinctions-based funding realm.
The reporting that we've seen from Indigenous Services Canada includes about 7,000 projects completed and ongoing for housing and about 8,000 new units completed and ongoing. This is since 2016. There are about 17,000 renovations and upgrades. We're looking at about 4,500 lots serviced. This is significant.
I would also point to some of the statistics coming out of the department around core housing needs. The data seems to show that the percentage of on-reserve households in overcrowded housing is staying about the same from 2016 to 2021. Similarly, the on-reserve housing considered adequate is also hovering at about the same rate between 2018-19 and 2023-24. These are numbers showing that there is some impact but not enough.
