Sure. The 15 cities were chosen because of the extraordinarily high populations of people in distress.
For example, in my riding alone, there are 15 parks with encampments of over 30 people in each of them who are currently sleeping in tents in downtown Toronto.
That situation is replicating itself right across the country, so there is an asymmetrical or a non-proportional distribution of people in extreme housing need that presents a clear and present danger, where high levels of COVID are present in communities. High levels of homelessness and a lack of affordable housing are present due to market rents being beyond the reach of people on social assistance.
There are patterns of homelessness in certain parts of the country that are much more severe.
