If we're looking for a solution this week or next week, I think the only viable solution, really, is more funding for temporary spaces—hotel rooms, motel rooms, and converting motels, not into long-term housing but at least in a way in which emergency services could be supported. If we're talking medium term, there is funding available through CMHC for organizations like Interval House and other shelters, but it takes a long time to build a new building.
In terms of what supports could be put in place, it would be to make those funding pots a little bit more accessible for smaller and medium-sized organizations like Interval House. We're small potatoes. We're not a huge housing developer. Sometimes the structure of funding programs is meant for larger developers. A small organization takes on a lot of risk to access those pots of money. For organizations like ours to be able to respond to the problem and be part of a solution and to take on these projects where we can build second-stage housing or additional shelter spaces, it would just be to create processes that are not as risky for us.
