Human Resources committee  That is a really important area for people in need. Understanding what their needs are is a fundamental part of Reaching Home. There is a mandatory requirement called “coordinated access” that gets down to the individual level of understanding. Is it mental health? Is it addictio

Human Resources committee  As I mentioned, it's remained steady, given the context of the country right now with the housing crisis and the affordability issues within the country.

Human Resources committee  Thank you very much for the question. That particular audit report was done mainly during COVID times. The homeless-serving sector, during that time, did not have the capacity to report results. They were dedicated to saving lives and keeping people safe. Since that time, all o

Human Resources committee  Thank you very much for the question. In the Reaching Home program, what we want to do is have transparency and results. That's why I wanted to mention the Auditor General's report. Now we can report on the results. We know that more is required, and that's why we're doing rese

Human Resources committee  The allocations are forward looking, so in the $562 million that we're allocating for the next two years, although they're closed for new entities, we are allocating further money to those community entities to be able to address the homelessness situation in their communities.

Human Resources committee  Perhaps I'll start and then I'll turn it to my colleague, Ms. Bowers. There's very close collaboration between Infrastructure Canada and CMHC on the work of the national housing strategy and some of the work from the co-investment fund that funds shelters. In the case of encam

Human Resources committee  Thank you for the question. Since that period of time, as we've been talking about the housing crisis, the context in Canada has changed significantly. At this point, chronic homelessness for the last number of years has remained steady at approximately 30,000 people.

Human Resources committee  I can look into it with Ontario. We are in active negotiations with Ontario and Toronto. We don't have signed contribution agreements with them just yet on those subway lines. There was a term sheet announced that you're referring to. As they're progressing and as there's further

Human Resources committee  It's a term sheet that was agreed to and not a formal contribution agreement.

Human Resources committee  Correct.

Human Resources committee  I believe it's the extent to which it would be feasible. In looking at the type of development, it's how much it would be feasible within that particular development to make it financially viable to proceed. That is the discussion between Ontario and Toronto that is active at thi

Human Resources committee  When we look at our previous programming versus our new programming in our permanent public transit, yes, we will. We're actually consulting on the methodology right now and on what the requirements are. When we used this particular program, it was part of our Investing in Canada

Human Resources committee  It's a discussion right now. We did not have conditions regarding affordable housing in our previous programming. It's a new element that we've brought to bear, and that's where there are active discussions on what would be possible, given the already advanced development of thos

Human Resources committee  Thank you for the question. We're in serious discussions with Quebec on that subject. I think that we've made a lot of progress in terms of granting funds under the program for the next two years. I am certain that we'll reach an agreement with Quebec shortly.

Human Resources committee  When we look at the first three years of Reaching Home, we see that over 70,000 people were placed in more stable homes. When we look at a year out, we see that three-quarters of them are still in stable homes, so it's working. We have 122,000 people who were prevented from bei
