The province is providing $4 million to create 25 supportive housing units in Niagara Falls.
Associate Housing Minister Nina Tangri made the announcement today.
"Our government’s housing plan is about creating more homes for the people of Ontario, including supportive housing that is critical to the well-being of both residents and the community," said Associate Minister Nina Tangri. "This investment through the Social Services Relief Fund will help provide longer-term housing solutions for some of the most vulnerable residents in Niagara Region, making a real difference in the lives of people in this community."
