I do believe we need a housing policy. There are some people who will need alternative housing, either to get away from the abusers or because.... I'm living in Toronto, and I have a lot of clients who are house rich, cash poor. They live in these houses that are falling down around them. They really need to leave.
They actually will get money out of that, but there's a certain percentage of people who are very poor who don't have the money from the sale of a house to accommodate them. They have nowhere to go. They need some support. They need housing with supports. That is also really lacking. We're ending up by leaving this to a private industry, the retirement home industry. A lot of seniors can't afford to get that housing with supports. We need a national housing agenda.
