The Hughson Street Baptist Church is building a new home that will be topped with 45 supportive housing units managed by Indwell. It could be a model for faith communities across Canada, they say.
Liberal MP Adam Vaughan, the parliamentary secretary to the minister of families, children and social development, made the announcement Tuesday morning at a construction site on James Street North.
