Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador Announce $18.5 Million Investment in Social Housing throughout the province.
$1.5 million is being used to support eight families in the St. John’s area and the remaining $17 million in funding will support additional investments on repairs to NLHC social housing units in 2021-22.
This includes the vacancies that require major repairs in order to be available to new tenants, 10 homes in Labrador West and three homes in Nain for families in need.
Premier Andrew Furey states that “Safe, stable and affordable housing – a place to call home – is essential to the social, financial and physical well-being of individuals, families and our communities.
Investments in our social housing will ensure that this important public asset will be available to those most in need today, and well into the future.”
