Feds drop large portion of $64 million earmarked for affordable housing in Hamilton

A joint venture between Ottawa and the City of Hamilton will see some $64 million spent to build and repair a couple of hundred affordable homes.

The two levels of government updated four housing projects on Monday that will target seniors, women and children fleeing domestic violence, people experiencing mental health and addiction issues, and Indigenous Peoples.

The federal portion is expected to be around $45 million as part of its National Housing Strategy (NHS) program providing low-interest loans to encourage the construction of more purpose-built rental housing.

The developments include:

100 rental housing units at 90 Carling St. in Westdale.
Development at Bay and Hunter streets accommodating people experiencing homelessness, particularly women and children.
Housing for seniors at 32 Clapham Rd. in the east end.
Homes for Indigenous Peoples at 219 East Ave. N. in Lansdale.
