The government has already recognized that brick and mortar housing for foster homes or group homes puts people who live in those homes at risk.
One of the elements of our programming in Halton has been that we want to create a crisis unit and transitional homes so if they're ever found in those spaces, they can move. Because Halton is growing, our housing recommendation is that whenever there is a new build, the city could negotiate a number of rentals within that building to be allocated to transitional space. Right now what we're encountering is that they don't want to lease to third parties. That's one of our main barriers.
If people are building, then having spaces allocated for transitional housing supports is our recommendation.
