Affordable housing, or more precisely the lack of it, has reached a crisis level across our region. To contribute to finding solutions for this challenge, the YMCA of Eastern Ontario has re-entered the housing arena through its Hearthstone Housing Pilot project.
The project is a partnership among the Y, CaraCo Development Corporation, the City of Kingston and Tipi Moza – an urban First Nation, Metis and Inuit housing provider, developed under the CMHC Urban Native Housing Program.
"We’re proud to support the Hearthstone Housing Project and the meaningful work the YMCA is doing in our community. Helping create brighter futures for individuals transitioning out of homelessness is an honour, and we’re grateful to contribute to such an important initiative." said Rod Pollock, President, Andre Construction.
“The desperate need for affordable housing is at critical levels in Kingston as it is across the country,” said Rob Adams, CEO, YMCA of Eastern Ontario. “In Kingston, the wait list for affordable housing is the greatest among the Indigenous population. This pilot project creates new partnerships that will see not only housing, but resources and supports provided to participants to help them develop the life skills needed to maintain stable housing. The work we do with Tipi Moza will ensure that supports are delivered in a culturally sensitive way.”
