New affordable housing with integrated services in St. Boniface!
This morning, the City of Winnipeg announced that Réseau Compassion Network, in partnership with CoHabit and Actionmarguerite, has been selected as the recipient of a property located at 825 Taché Avenue for the development of an accessible mixed-income residential building, with approximately 30% of the apartments being designated as affordable suites.
This project aims to create an intentional, inclusive, and accessible community that supports the rights of people with physical disabilities or other significant impairments who do not meet the eligibility criteria for provincial disability support programs. It will offer a concrete and innovative solution by providing 20 people with disabilities a truly integrated, fully accessible housing option with on-site support services provided by CoHabit. Finally, it provides an opportunity for all residents to reduce isolation, actively participate in community life, and build meaningful relationships.
We`re very proud of the trust placed in us by the City of Winnipeg and look forward to getting started!
