The country as a whole is facing housing crises of different kinds. One is the lack of affordable market housing, and another is the lack of affordable non-market housing. The lowest-income individuals are unable to participate in market housing, and that lack of supply is a huge concern for us.
I would also reiterate that when you invest in public housing, it is an investment in productive infrastructure. It has a direct effect on GDP, the labour economy, health care and the justice system. All of these things are made better by making investments in supporting our lowest-income residents in attaining access to non-market housing.
