Hamilton Community Foundation: Affordable Housing

Annual Report Dept: Hamilton's Vital Signs is an annual report from the Hamilton Community Foundation that looks at developments in a dozen areas of the city over the last year including health, the arts, the environment, immigration and safety, according to CBC. Areas that need greater focus are affordable housing, mixed income schools and investments in community services, said the report and hamiltonians are responsible for improving the communities they live in but further work needs to be done at the policy level to keep the city progressing, said a new report released Tuesday. The report shows local residents have succeeded at developing neighbourhood plans to engage citizens and make better connections to local institutions. Better access to health care is flagged as a community achievement. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
