In particular, the government is proposing a new housing partnership directly with Manitoba, investing $1 billion through Build Canada Homes. The money will go to transitional housing and wraparound services – personalized supports that aim to address overlapping issues — in Winnipeg, and to building 2,000 new transitional and permanent supportive housing units in the city.
It’s a bit of a damned if you do/damned if you don’t situation.
Personally, I think all government initiatives should come with concrete timelines and milestones against which to measure progress, but there are loads of reasons governments are reluctant to do so, for reasons that are both understandable and often selfish.
