The PATH program's eligibility rate varies significantly from 35% to 60% since the investigation.
- The eligibility rate swings between 35% and 60%, considered unusual.
- Commissioner Molly Wasow Park attributes the variability to the department's response to asylum seekers.
- Asylum seekers usually lack a 2-year housing history, making them highly likely to be eligible.
- Traditional client base situations result in more stable eligibility rates.

It's really a Flexion of our work as part of the asylum seeker response when we are making significant numbers of determinations on families on asylum seeker families because really almost by definition, they don't have a 2 year housing history.
