Affordable housing is the foundation for a healthy and prosperous community in Windsor-Tecumseh, and it is a fundamental human right. In our community, residents are finding it harder and harder to attain affordable quality housing.

Today I was proud to join Minister of Families, Children, and Social Development Ahmed Hussen and the Town of Tecumseh Mayor Gary McNamara to announce our government’s $25 million investment to help construct 99 new rental units in Windsor-Tecumseh with Valente Development Corporation.

This is the first-ever affordable housing partnership of this scale between the federal government and a private developer in our region! We are all working together to ensure no Canadian, including families in Windsor-Tecumseh, will be faced with the impossible choice between paying their rent and putting food on the table.
