I can give you a sense of some of the targets we are working towards and how we reward the work of our employees.
There are six indicators of success that were established when the national housing strategy was established. The first is the number of households whose housing needs are reduced or eliminated. The NHS target was 540,000 households. Halfway through the program the actual number of households we have helped is 246,000.
The NHS target is to create 160,000 new units of housing. Halfway through the program we have delivered financial commitments to 114,000 units. That's 62% of the target met.
We have made commitments to repair and renew existing social housing. That target for the NHS was 300,000. To date, we have extended funding to 272,000 units. That is 91% achievement halfway through the housing strategy.
We have committed to protect 385,000 units of community housing. Halfway through the strategy we have provided support to 220,000 community housing units. That's a 57% achievement.
We made another commitment to provide housing affordability support to 300,000 households through the Canada housing benefit. To date, we have provided 100,000 households with that benefit.
We have committed at least 25% of the NHS funding to go to meeting the housing needs of women and children. The target was 25%. To date, we have achieved 30%.
According to those measures, we feel we're meeting the original intent of the programs.
