Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am going to read from the national standard. Suitability refers to the problem of overcrowding, of whether a household has enough bedrooms appropriate for the number of people. Adequacy refers to the physical condition of a dwelling or whether a household has basic facilities to provide a safe and healthy environment. Affordability problems exist when the household pays an excessive amount for shelter. The household has an affordability problem if more than 30 percent of a household's income is paid to shelter costs. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
