Thank you.
I'd like to ask a question of you, Ms. Woolger.
You flagged a lack of affordable housing for new immigrants and asylum claimants in your testimony today. It is not uncommon for them to arrive at a homeless shelter and stay for longer than normal periods of time due to an inadequate amount of affordable housing, resulting in the numbers piling up. In fact, today, the asylum claim backlog has some 300,000 people, and housing costs have gone skyward, particularly in the greater metropolitan areas across the country.
How many weeks are asylum claimants having to stay in homeless shelters now?
