The province is investing over $31 million in improvements for social housing units.
Families Minister Heather Stefanson says “we are committed to ensuring a safe and suitable range of housing options are available to lower-income Manitobans when they need it. This funding will support upgrades and repairs in units and properties across the province, benefiting hundreds of tenants.”
The funding will go towards projects including:
- refreshing individual units or common areas;
- life and safety improvements, such as new fire alarms or carbon monoxide detectors;
- replacing appliances, doors or windows;
- snow removal, yard work and related work;
- accessibility improvements;
- heating, cooling and ventilation projects; and
- structural upgrades or repairs.
Manitoba is putting $31.2 million renovations and repairs in housing properties – $9.6 million more than last year’s budget.
