Thank you for the question.
I'd like to highlight two points. The data you're quoting—around 2,600—was a data point from years previous, so we look at veteran homelessness from the point of view of how the 2,600 has come down to 1,700. Many factors in that regard may be contributing to that. Certainly, the veteran homelessness program was implemented during that time frame, so we're quite happy to see those numbers migrate from 2,600 down to 1,700.
As I said to a colleague earlier, any question around funding of the veteran homelessness program really is best suited.... I'm not privy to the internal funding conversations with respect to the veteran homelessness program. What I can say is that the program is delivered in two streams. One is around services supports, and there are about 28 organizations that HICC has entered into contracts with. They have another stream, called “capacity”, which are six organizations that are performing research in this space to have a better understanding of the root cause of veteran homelessness. I look forward, from a Veterans Affairs point of view, to receiving that research data in the coming years to better understand and to then make policy decisions around benefits and services for veterans.
