Governments of Canada, Ontario and the Town of Hawkesbury Celebrate New Affordable Housing

HAWKESBURY, ON, February 10, 2010 — The Government of Canada, the Government of Ontario, the United Counties of Prescott and Russell and the Town of Hawkesbury today celebrated the start of construction of 24 affordable rental units. The project is supported by $2.88 million in funding through the Canada – Ontario Affordable Housing Program.

Pierre Lemieux, Member of Parliament for Glengarry – Prescott – Russell, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development and Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), and Jean-Marc Lalonde, Member of Provincial Parliament for Glengarry – Prescott – Russell on behalf of Jim Bradley, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing; along with Conrad Lamadeleine, Warden of the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, Jeanne Charlebois, Mayor of the Town of Hawkesbury, made the announcement.

“Our government is providing a hand up to those Canadians who need it the most,” said MP Pierre Lemieux. “We’re committed to making communities stronger through projects like this one here in Hawkesbury. These investments in local infrastructure will help create new jobs stimulate the local economy.”

“The province is committed to helping people who live on lower or fixed incomes stay in their home communities,” said MPP Jean-Marc Lalonde. “These 24 new affordable rental units are going to make a positive difference in the lives of the individuals living here, and make an excellent addition to the Town of Hawkesbury.”

The 24-unit project located at 300 Nelson Street received $2.88 million in funding through the two-year extension of the Canada – Ontario Affordable Housing Program and is sponsored by the Brisson/Labelle Partnership. The building will be occupied by individuals living on low incomes, including persons with disabilities and special needs.

“It is living proof that with partnerships between various levels of governments and the private sector, we can achieve important projects like this one and this participation will allow our community to enjoy more affordable housing,” said Warden Conrad Lamadeleine.

“We welcome this new housing development in our town and we congratulate Mr. Marc-André Labelle, Mr. Dominic Labelle and Mr. Jean-Luc Brisson for the opportunity they are offering our residents seeking affordable housing” said Mayor Jeanne Charlebois.

The Canada – Ontario Affordable Housing Program Agreement comprises a commitment of $301 million from each of the two senior levels of government. In total, the federal, provincial and municipal governments will invest at least $734 million in the program, which will provide affordable housing for up to 20,000 households in Ontario.

In 2008, the Government of Canada committed more than $1.9 billion over the next five years to improve and build new affordable housing and to help the homeless. Canada’s Economic Action Plan builds on this with an additional one-time investment of more than $2 billion over two years in new and existing social housing and lending of up to another $2 billion to municipalities for housing-related infrastructure. Combined for Ontario, this means a further $1.2-billion joint investment under the amended Canada – Ontario Affordable Housing Program Agreement. The federal and provincial governments are contributing equally to this overall investment.

Ontario is moving quickly to get new housing built. The province has already approved more than $224 million for construction-ready projects, which will improve access to affordable housing for low-income families, seniors and persons with disabilities across the province. It will also create jobs and strengthen local economies. To find out more about affordable housing in Ontario, visit www.mah.gov.on.ca.

From a past few months or rather since a year a common man is struggling hard even to meet up his daily expenses. Even if he/she has made plans to buy a property, a house or even a small shop in a complex, it is next to impossible for him/her in the period of financial crisis. So a common man thinks that he has to be satisfied the way he is staying. But there is a way out even in the period of recession and a common man also can make an attempt to buy a property, a house or even a shop in a complex. Well, this is possible because he/she can take the assistance from the mortgage company which can handle such kind of situation very smartly even during the financial crisis. They have alliance with several banks and it is not hard for them to help the clients with the entire dealing process.

The basic thing is that the person who has decided to go in for the mortgage has to be clever enough to understand the entire process. He/she should be able to pay the installments on time so that the process continues in a systematic way without any disturbances.

My father had taken the assistance from the Mortgage refinancing Toronto when he wanted to renovate his house. The brokers and the management at the Mortgage Refinancing Toronto are very straight forward and they clear all the doubts of the clients in a proficient way which occurs before or during the time of the financial dealing. The Beneficial Mortgage Financing procedure is one of the best ways to take the loan from the mortgage company for renovating the house. My father was satisfied with the Mortgage refinancing process because of the easy installments. He was an intelligent businessman and he already had a vast knowledge about the various mortgages processes and their advantages .
