I think the piece that's really important for municipalities to understand is that politicians need to realize that, overall, we are there to support, listen, and provide funding, but at the end of the day the community really has the answers.
I guess my advice to municipal, provincial, and federal leaders is to go to your community, because the community will always have the answers. The housing society will work above and beyond to make sure those things happen so they can make their projects go forward. As politicians, you really have to think about who the people in the community are who know and then get them engaged, and you will see projects happen very quickly.
