On Wednesday, the feds announced a $3.12-million contribution to the Youth Services Bureau’s new four-storey, 39-unit affordable housing complex at 2887 Riverside Dr. Each unit in the new facility will have affordable rents.

The federal government’s contribution comes through the National Housing Co-Investment Fund, a promise from the 2018 budget.
