October 28, 2020
Edmonton will receive a $17.3-million slice of a federal government fund to provide new housing for the homeless.
The federal government announced on Tuesday how much each major city will get from the $1-billion fund, which was announced in late September as part of the National Housing Strategy.
Mayor Don Iveson said the money will help create 74 units for the city's homeless.
