[homeles_ot-l] NO STIMULUS $ for HOUSING!

[Lynne Browne]

NO STIMULUS $ for HOUSING today! 

 

Stimulus funds for social housing repairs didn’t make it into this round of
funding! 

CFRA reported that “federal Transport Minister John Baird, Housing and
Municipal Affairs Minister Jim Watson, Ottawa's Acting Mayor Michel
Bellemare, along with other government representatives, announced the
infrastructure funds at the construction site of Preston Street and Carling
Avenue. The city's wish list totaled $730 million, and today's announcement
saw 77% of infrastructure and 60% of cultural requests granted. The city is
still hoping to see funding for $235 million worth of social housing and
recreation projects.” 

Minister Watson is reported to have said he expects money will start rolling
out for those projects soon.

Perhaps it’s time to put housing at the top of the wish list!
