Human Resources committee  For households where there are repair issues or crowding—that's unsuitable and inadequate housing—we aren't measuring the gap between the affordable level and what they pay. We're assuming they would have to rent another unit at market rent. That reflects the rent subsidy that wo

Human Resources committee  I guess I would clarify that there are separate business lines, so the dividends don't arise from the assisted housing programs. The assisted housing programs are funded by appropriations from the Government of Canada, so they're not using the profits from their mortgage insuranc

Human Resources committee  The $636-million cost reflects the gap between what indigenous households are currently paying and either the affordable level or the cost of market housing, if the housing is inadequate. We believe that would be the cost to close that gap, excluding administrative costs, under a

Human Resources committee  CMHC did not provide that data to us.

Human Resources committee  No. They gave us a list of all the projects and all the corresponding data, but only for projects that committed to creating indigenous units. We don't have the overall.

Human Resources committee  Yes. Our report shows that in 2019—it's the first data for which we have reporting—no indigenous households received assistance from the Canada housing benefit—

I'm sorry, it's not the rapid housing initiative, it's the homelessness partnering strategy. We have data for the prior homelessness partnering strat

Human Resources committee  It's the financial commitments to date. It's not the target for the program. There is no explicit allocation within the rapid housing strategy for indigenous housing.

Human Resources committee  Give me a second....

Human Resources committee  With respect to the administrative cost for the financing for housing programs—that's the rental construction finance initiative and the national housing co-investment fund—I estimated that to be over $300,000 per application. That's not a very precise figure because CMHC was not

Human Resources committee  It's possible to say that less was spent than was allocated to some years. For example, under rural and native housing, there was approximately $12 million allocated for the last few years, and they spent about $8 million. In that case, the funds that were distributed reflected t
