Yes, of course.
When I talk about funding, I'm talking about subsidies that would allow housing to be built while at the same time reducing rents.
Right now, financial arrangements are becoming increasingly complex. Build Canada Homes wants that flexibility. Given the complexity of these arrangements, we are increasingly dependent on private actors in the development of social and community housing. We see a risk in this reliance on the private sector, since everything increasingly depends on the rents for the housing units that will be developed in the next few years.
So it's becoming harder and harder to build housing that will be immediately affordable without sufficient funding through federal and provincial government subsidies, even though we're obviously talking about the federal government here.
