Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is absolutely correct; there have been challenges trying to implement this program and one of the challenges is having no income support workers in the communities, and we’ve heard of situations where assessments had to be faxed back and forth.
There are more termination notices than ever, because the LHOs are running on policy and that
policy states that if you don’t pay your rent, you get a termination notice and it would take a year before you actually get evicted, but that’s the start of the process. They’ve been trying to work with the tenants to come up with some solutions. They understand that there are challenges with the rollout of this new program.
We are finding that we are having more LHOs running deficits because the money is not flowing quickly enough. Thank you.
