Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in regards to the different housing programs that we do deliver, we do have to try to be fair to different people. Yes, there is a question about confidentiality, but I think it's just like anything else. If you're dealing with the banks, in which a large portion of these dollars we do give to the clients, through EDAP, is bank financing. Out of 600 clients, we've been able to access almost $46 million from the banks for these units by way of...and it's another avenue for us to be able to get houses on the ground, but also be able to assist people in need. A lot of these people that are in need basically are single mothers in regards to having four or five kids. You have to take into account what the real cost is in regard to what it's going to cost for you to take care of not only your shelter needs, but also your day-to-day needs to accommodate a family of whatever size it may be. So we do have to keep that into account, but also realizing that we are doing a process to review the different programs we are delivering.
In regards to the maintenance management systems, we do use that program in house for our local housing authorities through our maintenance program, which has proven to be very useful in order to realize the situation we find our housing units in our communities so that we can determine where we spend our money to do the different repairs that have to be done based on the management program we have in place. Again, it's only used internally, in house.
In regard to the issue the Member raised about land administration, I was at a meeting with the Member, Mr. Yakeleya, MACA and myself, and at that meeting it was
pretty clear that we, MACA and even ourselves, are having problems just trying to deal with the land issues in regards to the question about titles, in regards to the new self-government agreements that are in place, who do you deal with, who are the people that you have to be able to get permission from to develop these lands and under what conditions? We do have a major problem in regards to the area of lands and I think it's something that's identified not only in the Housing Corporation, but also MACA is realizing that it's a problem.
We do have to work together with the different departments and the local governments and municipalities and community governments to find solutions to these problems. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
