The Winnipeg Housing and Homelessness Initiative, and several private partners, are in the midst of building 32 "pocket suites" in four new affordable housing buildings in the Centennial and Spence neighbourhoods.
I am tired of listening to the NDP bash the Tories about the MTS privatization and trying to make an illogical connection to Manitoba Hydro. Not only is the privatization of MTS old news, it has clearly turned out to be a good decision. MTS is now an effective, successful corporation instead of the bloated bureaucratic mess it once was. In fact, it is now one of the country's largest telecommunications companies. According to the NDP, this is a bad thing. And to think that this could happen to Manitoba Hydro as well! Not only do I think that the NDP seems to be out of touch with Manitobans, they seem to be out of touch with reality. It is so encouraging to see that [Gary Doer] and the NDP have finally outlined a decent housing policy for Manitobans. What an idea. The world's biggest tee...

Candidates need to look at low-income housing With the new city election coming up in Brandon, I was just wondering whether the candidates are considering anything to include in their platforms for low income or moderate housing for low income people? I see a lot of buildings going up, but none of which are for low income people.
She yelled at Liberal Leader Jon Gerrard for referring to Gilbert Park in 2007 as a "Gary ghetto" with "decrepit housing which is poorly looked after" and a "crime incubator." His comments made [Golondrina] see red. Respect where you live," Golondrina tells her kids and others. "People think you're horrible if you're trashing your own home. "Once people are cut from the community at large, you can't replace that with social programs and recreation facilities," said University of Manitoba social work professor Sid Frankel. "That won't normalize the situation, fundamentally," he said. Huge low-income housing projects were cheaper to build but have ended up costing more in the social problems they create, he said.

After years of preparation, community support and countless volunteer hours, construction to transform the Massey-Harris Building into low-income, affordable housing units is well underway. In addition to the housing units, they are planning to construct a gymnasium/ multi-purpose room on the bottom floor, as well as a green space next to the building.
In the past, [Sam Katz] has been reluctant to express support for any funding arrangement that remotely resembles former mayor Glen Murray's 'New Deal,' which would have seen Winnipeg receive a vast array of new taxation powers. Liberal Leader Dr. Jon Gerrard has been the only premier candidate to make low-income housing an election issue. Issues involving housing and Winnipeg's aboriginal community -- the fastest-growing segment of the city's population -- have been all but ignored in this election, said Jino Distasio, director of the University of Winnipeg's Institute of Urban Studies. Distasio said he's also surprised Gerrard is the only provincial party leader to raise the issue of rapid transit, especially at a time when Canada's big-city mayors -- including Sam Katz -- are calling...
In one final act of cleaning, the owners of the former Perth's garment rental and textile business on Rosser Avenue have quietly donated the structure to the Canadian Mental Health Association. The CMHA also has interests in the Massey Harris building at Seventh Street and Pacific Avenue - the focus of an ambitious renovation program to construct 58 new low-income housing units, in partnership with the Brandon Friendship Centre and Habitat for Humanity.
The minister said Ottawa likely plans to accelerate infrastructure spending on projects like the CentrePort transportation initiative at Winnipeg's airport, wastewater treatment plants, low-income housing, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and perhaps the new football stadium at the University of Manitoba. Driedger said the government's position on the economy ignores the fact significant layoffs have already hit the province in the mining and forestry industries, and that the public sector, particularly in health, is also feeling the squeeze.
Gambling was behind the theft of nearly $60,000 from a non-profit organization that supplies low-income housing, says a Brandon Crown attorney.
