I would echo the encouragement of member of Parliament Aitchison, who was speaking to the need for all parties to address this crisis.
Look at the example in Ontario and the supportive housing piece. The supports are crucial. When we look at where some of the housing first models in the U.S. and other jurisdictions have fallen flat, it's where there are not wraparound supports—to your point.
The supportive element of housing beyond the door and room is really, in many ways, the secret sauce to a lot of the success. In terms of the Dunn House model and social medicine housing, the province has been an instrumental partner in investing in wraparound supports, both for the health care resources that are there and for the 24-7 permanent supportive housing model.
I was really encouraged to hear Mr. Flack in Ontario speak to Dunn House 2.0 as a model of supportive housing that can not only help alleviate hospital pressures, but also build infrastructure and of course ultimately, from my vantage point as a physician, drive better health outcomes.
