The federal and provincial governments are collaborating with the city of Brandon to develop a 48-unit affordable housing complex.
The complex will include 42 two-bedroom units and six three-bedroom units. In addition to those units, there will be eight rooms on the main floor accessible for people with disabilities.
Adam Vaughan, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, says every Canadian deserves a safe and affordable place to call home.
“It is with great pleasure that our government, through the National Housing Strategy, is supporting initiatives like this affordable housing project in Brandon. Our government is working collaboratively with the government of Manitoba to build strong communities where Canadian families can prosper and thrive, now and for the future.”
Since 2016, the Manitoba government has supported 743 new affordable and social housing rental units. The province says they will continue to protect and support vulnerable Manitobans through the development of affordable housing.
This development will be a part of the Government of Canadas National Housing Strategy, which is a 10-year, $70+ billion program to give more Canadians a place to call home.
Construction on this project is expected to begin in the spring of 2022.
