00:00:01.040 - 00:00:23.230

we're coming to the urban areas cannot afford the going rate for apartments and flats are, you know, there's and some families are more than one family residing together. And so what we have come into contact with is that, you know, just a lack of housing available

00:00:23.230 - 00:00:40.660

and most of the people cannot, you know, afford the a lot of things. I shouldn't say most of the, a lot of the indian people cannot afford the the going rate for apartments and flat families with small Children are families with Children, any Children at all.

00:00:41.140 - 00:00:57.420

And these are the types of things that we deal with because most of the indian families have at least one or two Children, if not more. And it's very difficult. However, the department does provide housing for indians and urban indians coming into the urban area, generally

00:01:17.440 - 00:01:30.760

into the house and for their house, we have three and four Children. And they were told that there was a waiting list that would have to wait because certain projects will only take a certain amount of Children and certain projects take elderly. Certain projects, you can

00:01:30.760 - 00:01:51.670

only have so many Children, well That they have three or four Children. Well, we have a a slew of two bedroom apartments As we go to three get less for less, five or even far less. Well, it means that the larger families just the turnover is

00:01:51.670 - 00:02:06.650

just not there. And we haven't opened a family development. We haven't had the funds from the federal government to open any family developments. The last one opened in 1961. So in the last 15 years we haven't put any family housing in stock.
