If a family has been on a housing list for 15 years and is in a hub, and they are not willing to put themselves in a precarious position again, they have an entitlement to say it is not good enough. I do not encourage that as people must make those personal decisions that have an affect on their families. It is insulting to tell them that if they make a decision not to put themselves through a similar experience, there is no right or entitlement to do so. We will leave that pass. As long as there is a reliance on HAP, we will continue to have a significant minority of people who will find themselves in trouble again and again. That is indisputable.
