Canada's Auditor general Karen Hogan says the federal government doesn’t know if its initiatives aimed at reducing chronic homelessness are actually working.

In a new report, Hogan says no organization has taken the lead on the federal government’s goal of reducing chronic homelessness by 50 per cent by 2028.

The report from Hogan's office says Infrastructure Canada and Employment and Social Development Canada do not know whether their programs are improving housing outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.

She also added the federal government doesn’t have a good handle on what’s going on in its Arctic waters. In a report tabled Tuesday, Hogan says the agencies responsible for safety and security in the North don’t have a clear picture of traffic in the region.

Other reports focused on emergency management in First Nations communities, Arctic waters surveillance, and cybersecurity of personal information on the cloud.

The auditor general provides oversight to the federal government by conducting audits of its operations and financial accounts.
