For the short term, we need to get more spaces—both accessible and affordable—up immediately with the appropriate supports. We need to ensure that those on the waiting lists.... First of all, we have to make sure they're on the waiting list. What's happening now, particularly in Ontario but I've heard in other jurisdictions as well, is that people with developmental disabilities who have housing needs aren't on the waiting list because without the supports there's no point. One ministry handles the supports on their list, but through housing...not. That is now in the process of being looking after.
The other is to continue to fund innovative programs to make sure that people are looked after in the best possible way. The Reena Community Residence is not the only solution; it's a solution.
