Almost $2 million is being given to Northumberland through the Community Housing Renewal Strategy.
The provincial government announced today, the County is receiving $1.8 million to invest in and improve affordable housing.
Northumberland-Peterborough South MPP David Piccini says he knows housing is an important social determinant of health and he will work with municipalities and non-profits to address issues like safety, overcrowding and long wait lists.
The province’s new Community Housing Renewal Strategy aims to transform a fragmented and inefficient system into one that is more streamlined, sustainable and ready to help people who need it most.
They are providing more than $1 billion dollars in 2019-20 to help sustain, repair and grow affordable housing and help end homelessness.
