Yes, the co-investment fund is a terrific program. It provides opportunities, and can sort of be a mix of grants and loans, that will allow people to build more affordable housing stock.
Since you've cited your own community, I'll cite mine. The Antigonish Affordable Housing Society is a group of volunteers who decided that they wanted to do something about affordable housing, given some of the challenges in a university town in Nova Scotia. They hopped online and started working with people in the space. They learned about the co-investment fund. They now have navigated what can be a complex system, and there are members of my community who now have a place to live.
The stories that you hear are life-changing for people. There's a young woman who has been able to return to school. She told me that her son is able to now take part in elite basketball camps because she can afford to take him because she's not spending all of her money on housing.
I've run out of time, but it's a perfect example of just how powerful this fund is to build more units at prices people can afford. It's meaningful stuff.
