To answer the first part of the Member’s question, we’re always willing to work with the tenants. If there are some hardships that tenants run into, all they need to do is go see the LHO. We’re not without a heart. They’d be willing to talk with them.
As to the second part of the Member’s question about whether or not the hamlet can take over the provision of housing, we’re always open to those types of suggestions. If the hamlet wants to seriously consider it, sit down with the Housing Corporation, then I’m sure there are arrangements that we can work out.
I’ll say it right now publicly, that they have to understand that they’ll still be expected to collect that rent, because without being able to collect that
rent they will have to use a lot of their own money to look after the maintenance. So they do need a revenue. But that’s one of the things that we can discuss with them. The opportunity is there.
