Moments ago CHRA board member, and CEO of Ontario's Social Housing Services
Corporation, Lindsey Reed was present in Oakville, Ontario, as HYPERLINK
"http://cmhc.ca/en/corp/nero/nere/2009/2009-05-24-1330.cfm"the Honourable

administered by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) can now
apply for renovation and retrofit funding totalling $150 million nationally.

and Social Development Canada and for CMHC, this past week joined provincial
and territorial ministers responsible for housing in HYPERLINK
