The federal government is investing $4.5 million through the Affordable Housing Fund to build supportive housing for homeless veterans in Edmonton. The project, located in the Athlone neighborhood, will feature 40 bachelor units with amenities like a fitness room and community garden. Veterans' House Canada, a national charity, will oversee the project, which aims to provide stable homes and tailored support services for veterans. The initiative highlights collaboration between the government and non-profit sectors to address affordable housing needs.
