One of the things I mentioned is that housing is very much a seniors issue, but what we hear anecdotally is that seniors have issues accessing housing, and that agencies will often prefer families. Even if there's a quota for so many individuals to have the housing for seniors, that will be violated, so I would say that one of the first things is to enforce what we decide to plan out.
When it comes to housing, there are very much two questions that answer each other. One is, how do we make housing affordable? The other one is, how do we deal with increasing social isolation? We need models that allow people to live in a community, but a small community. For example, after five years, our Barrie chapter has finally secured financing and land to do a test co-house for four people—with one kitchen—so they can live together. I think these are the kinds of innovative models that will solve both the housing and the social issues and will allow people to look after themselves.
I also encourage the idea that we increment rather than simply deploy. For example, rather than building masses of houses and just giving them over, we could look at things like rental allowances, subsidies, and things that help people take advantage of what they already have and give them the little bit extra they need to get to their goals.
