McGuinty Government Supports Health and Security For Seniors In Sudbury

New affordable housing in Sudbury will give seniors a safe, secure place to call home and create up to 190 new local construction jobs.

The Lepokoti Supportive Housing Apartment building broke ground today in Finlandia Village. The unique development will offer 61 new affordable units for seniors on fixed incomes and provide residents in need with long term supportive care.

Improving access to safe, stable and affordable housing across the province is an important part of the government's Open Ontario plan to build stronger communities and provide more opportunities for Ontario families to build a better future.

QUICK FACTS

 
  • Lepokoti received $6.9 million from the Government of Ontario through the Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program.
  • Since 2003, the provincial government has allocated $2.5 billion for affordable housing in Ontario.
