Thank you, Ms. Fancy. That's an issue that's been very close to my heart for over 30 years.
If you're in an unsafe situation, whether it's with a spouse who's violent or a landlord who's abusive, it's really important to be able to get into a safe space. We often think of emergency shelters and transitional housing. It may require either being able to stay in the home or being able to find a new home that's less expensive for you and possibly your children.
It's really important not to leave out the intersectional analysis that's been in the national housing strategy. It's also really important when we're talking about homelessness to include people who are couch surfing because women are much more likely to be in an informal homelessness situation rather than to present to, certainly, municipal emergency shelters. Those are things that a good strategy would be recognizing in its outcomes and would be incorporating in the way it designs programs.
It's a really important point, and again, I'll keep it short.
