Thank you for your question.
We are seeing homelessness counts continue to go up in some communities. We're also seeing some levelling off, finally, after many years of growth in the point-in-time counts. We are seeing that the growth is reduced, but it continues to be an unacceptable problem that we have to solve.
There's a lot of data being gathered with point-in-time counts, and there's a fantastic complement of people working to solve homelessness across Canada right now. Many volunteers are working on this. That's why all levels of government need to double down on investing in and supporting the community of people who are looking into homelessness.
The Reaching Home program is essential to our work going forward in making sure that we're doing our part as the Government of Canada. Again, I'll speak to the importance of supportive and transitional housing. We need to make sure that we're building the homes that actually solve homelessness. Until we build a supply of housing that works for people who are at risk of living rough or are living rough, we won't have anywhere for them to go outside of shelters.
It's important to have the whole continuum but, in particular, to invest in long-term solutions.
