I want to clarify first that Community Action on Homelessness doesn't provide direct services; we just administer the housing program. We work with all the service providers here in the city to develop appropriate programs. There's a variety of support services out there. For instance, the Y in Halifax have developed a very successful cost-efficient model. They rent units for women to occupy. They pay the first month's rent and provide three hours of support per week, which is minimum support. There are other models, like the one I mentioned earlier, which will open in a couple of weeks. There will be a full-time support worker on staff. Even the superintendents will have some expertise and will be able to support people if there is some crisis during the night.
There are different levels of support. Sometimes it's really a low level and sometimes it's a high level. For some clients it is one year at a low level. If you're dealing with mental health issues, a person can get into a crisis very quickly. We heard examples from non-profits. For instance, a relative dies and that puts someone into a crisis in a manic or suicidal mode. Then you might need high levels of support. We are talking about different degrees of support services.
