“Our government is spending $35 million to build 84 housing units in Hamilton. These will help women and families fleeing violence and abuse.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I am proud to share that our government is investing $35 million to help YWCA Hamilton build 84 new transitional housing units in my riding of Hamilton Centre. These homes will support women and families during some of the most difficult times in their lives. The project includes 60 units for single women and 24 units for women-led households. It will also provide on-site supports, shared spaces and community amenities to help residents rebuild their lives with dignity and stability. For women and mothers fleeing violence and abuse, safe housing is more than just a roof over their heads. It is safety, it is support, and it is a fresh start. Our government is laser focused on building more affordable housing. I am proud of our government’s support for this project and grateful to the YWCA Hamilton team, led by Medora Uppal, for the incredible work they do every day for our community.
