I can speak a little bit about the investments through the homelessness partnering strategy in our indigenous stream, and then I'll ask my colleagues to add anything supplementary they have on access to affordable housing.
Within our program there is a dedicated indigenous stream of funding. It's about $28 million this year and next and it provides funding to about 40 communities across the country. We have dedicated community advisory boards, made up of indigenous stakeholders who manage and decide the priorities of investment for those funds. The way the program is structured allows the local communities to design interventions that are culturally sensitive and that respect indigenous practices.
In looking at the statistics on homelessness, in 2016 we did a point-in-time count in 32 communities across the country, and the indigenous population was about 37% of homeless individuals. Similarly, the shelter study we released at the end of 2016 also demonstrated that indigenous populations are significantly overrepresented in emergency shelters, representing about 30% of that population.
