Thank you for your question.
With renewal of Reaching Home, it will be important for organizations to see that longer-term commitment. The challenge we have right now is that the national housing strategy is in its final stage. Reaching Home is part of that, and there is concern from some organizations about what happens going forward. As long as I'm minister, I want to see that investment continue and increase in order to tackle homelessness. The problem continues to be very challenging across the country.
We'd be interested in hearing from your communities to know exactly what support is needed to make more progress. I'd be happy to hear from you on the organizations, specifically, and the communities that need the support. That's something we can continue to work on together.
It has to be tackled on the ground in every community. I certainly know that from my background as a mayor. The support needs to come from a federal level. However, with regard to how best to solve it on the ground within communities, we need that local knowledge and leadership as well. I look forward to hearing from you on how we can best work with your communities.
