NEW Housing Project
THE ORGANIZATIONAL CHALLENGE:
The Need: URGENT
Over 4000 households are waiting for affordable housing in Niagara (approximately 1500 households in Niagara Falls)
46 percent of Niagara households pay over 30 percent of their gross income for housing. Many are paying 50 percent to 75 percent of income on housing.
Goal:
We have been approved for $2.8 million in funding under the Federal/Provincial Affordable Housing Program to build 40 apartments in Niagara Falls for people of low to moderate income, including those with specific needs such as people with physical disabilities. We plan to create an attractive, accessible apartment building that will blend into the neighbourhood, providing a safe, affordable and pleasant environment. There will be one support worker on site and also a live-in superintendent. To achieve our goal, a community investment of $500,000 is required.
Together, we can make our community a better place to live...
This is the first opportunity in Niagara Falls for over a decade to create new, affordable housing. Affordable housing is key to reducing poverty and improving the quality of life in our community. If you believe that providing safe, affordable and supportive housing assists people to regain their dignity and self worth, then please show your support for this project.
