I only have a few minutes left. I wish to touch on a few other items. The multi-unit development and owner-management company seminars which the Housing Agency frequently runs are very beneficial, particularly for those who are new or unlucky enough to serve on management companies. They need that information and expertise. I suggest that the Housing Agency needs to give more of a lead-in time. The timeframe for promoting and advertising is very short. They are invaluable. Perhaps the witness will take that message away.

To focus on homelessness, the national Housing First strategy and that of youth homelessness are two issues about which all Members of the House are concerned. A colleague spoke about some of the issues within homeless charities that we have faced over the past few months, which are extremely worrying. Has that had an impact on the national strategy, given the size of that player, in the delivery of homeless services?
