Thank you for that. Honestly, one of our biggest programs is an adaptation of Housing First. We have found that once people are stabilized, there is a rapid reintroduction to employment. Once you lose a job and you become homeless, it's very hard to continue to search for work to get back up on your feet. In Hamilton, that has been really key to helping males.
Conversely, if I may say so, women's homelessness has not been looked at as extensively, and it has a similar impact on employment. People couch surf through the community, and it's harder to gauge the extent of women's homelessness because of that, but if we could have a targeted program taking what we've learned in Hamilton through Housing First and could adapt that to women, that would help as well.
The other complication with that is dealing with domestic violence. Currently we have about 300 applicants per month who aren't able to get into shelters that accommodate women. If we're going to expand or continue what we're doing, I think looking at women is a priority.
