Nanaimo city council voted in favour of writing a letter of support to Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island for a future project in the city.
Jeff Krafta, executive director for Habitat for Humanity Mid-Vancouver Island, spoke to council Monday, Jan. 15 about the request for the letter. He said the letter would be to support a 26-until muti-family affordable housing complex at 5915 Metro Drive on the newly purchased land.
He explained this letter is one of the additional ways they are trying to help them achieve increased funding for their projects. This letter is to help support the group in conversations with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and BC Housing when looking at their financing packages for the construction.
