Every Canadian deserves a safe and affordable place to call home. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that affordable housing is key to Canada's recovery.

On March 11th in London, Peter Fragiskatos, Member of Parliament for London North Centre and Arielle Kayabaga, Member of Parliament for London West on behalf of the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion, along with City of London Deputy Mayor Josh Morgan and other provincial and municipal partners opened a new 61-unit housing building.

Thanks to the hard work of many community partners and a $7.5 million investment from the Government of Canada's Rapid Housing Initiative, this project, located at 122 Baseline Road West, offers Londoners and their families at risk of or experiencing homelessness with a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. This building consists of a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom units

Continued investments under the Rapid Housing Initiative will help communities across Canada, including London, to build back better by creating more jobs in the construction and housing sectors, grow the middle class and get closer to eliminating chronic homelessness in Canada.
