This is a good first step. Healthy communities take care of their own and we have a desperate need for affordable housing in Halton Region. We have been in the housing business since 1988, assuming the leadership role in this area with the transfer of services from the Province over the last few years. jWe are poised to work with our partners to make good use of any opportunities that are created to address our housing needs in order to keep Halton communities healthy.
