The city has narrowed it down to 4 housing proposals that they will put forward. The top ask, is the Hellenic Community of Hamilton and District. It asks for $210,000 to turn an old fire hall on its property into four affordable housing units, which would add to the 39 units the non-profit organization already operates.
The second priority on the list, submitted by Homestead Christian Care, is for 46 housing units at the site of a former bar on Main Street East. The two final proposals, which were also included in the last round of applications, are proposals for 27 units for families on Burton Street and 59 units for seniors on Upper Gage.
Do you think the city stands a chance? Previous applications, which included a request to turn the Royal Connaught Hotel into mixed use housing, was turned down.
