Two information sessions are being held to discuss the possibility of affordable homes being planted on Highland Road West in Kitchener and Lauris Avenue in Cambridge.
The Region of Waterloo is in the process of acquiring the two properties, one at 1388 Highland Road West, Kitchener and the other at 30 Lauris Avenue in Cambridge.
The hope is to develop mixed-income housing units at those locations as part of the Region’s ‘Building Better Futures Initiative’.
Part of that initiative is to create 2,500 new affordable homes across the region over the next five years.
Tuesday’s session will focus on the Highland Road location just east of Ira Needles. Wednesday’s session, the focus will be on 30 Lauris Avenue on the west side of Lauris and the east side of Elgin Street in east Galt.
There are both in person and virtual options available for checking out the project. The links to both sessions with the dates and times can be found here.
We'll be seeking RFPs to support affordable housing developments in Kitchener & Cambridge. Come to ask questions & learn how this supports our community.
