Waterloo promotes ‘housing that folks can actually afford’ in taxpayer-funded project
Waterloo City Hall is behind in its housing goals but declared progress Thursday around a taxpayer-funded plan to put more than 1,000 homes beside the RIM Park recreation complex.
Construction is scheduled to start next year at 2025 University Ave. E., in the city’s northeast corner.
Habitat for Humanity plans to build affordable and attainable units, rented and owned, on a vacant municipal site that city hall has transferred to the housing charity and its partners.
The federal government provided a housing grant of up to $22 million to cover city costs.
