Yes.
When it comes to the nitty-gritty facts I will defer to my very learned colleagues about the ins and outs of dollars and how much needs to be allocated to the program. Because it was in 2006, I have never had the opportunity as a lawyer to use the program.
That being said, it's interesting you bring up budget 2016 and the funding allocated, because there's a way in which this program works in conjunction with so many other programs that are needed to address these issues, such as the way that we need adequate funding for a national housing strategy and a national anti-poverty plan, all of which use human rights as their fundamental framework. Those dollars are so important but they have to work in conjunction, in collaboration, with many other policies and laws that also work for people living in poverty.
