Just to the Member’s previous question, in addition to Beaufort-Delta Health and Social Services Authority, I’d encourage the organizations who are interested in providing these shelters to apply to the NWT Housing Corporation’s Small Community Homelessness Fund to see if there are any opportunities there given that the individuals who are often attending these facilities are homeless.
As far as this being a template, I just want to remind the Member that as a government we don’t operate shelters. The authorities fund organizations who operate shelters to meet the needs of their communities, but as the Member has clearly articulated, this shelter is working and it’s getting some really positive results, and obviously we’re interested in learning from successes of ours as well as our partners and sharing that information as much as possible.
So, it is early days. We need to really see how this plays out over the long term. Today it looks good and we will continue to monitor and share information as it comes in. Thank you.
