Keith Lucas:

There’s partnerships going on between the federal, provincial and municipal governments. There’s partnerships going on with respect to our partnerships that we have with the not-for-profit sector, the private sector. So it’s all this partnership, bringing it all together and making it happen. It didn’t happen overnight. You have to build those partnerships and that’s one of the bigger successes. That’s what happened here in a relatively short period of time.

So actually the region of Waterloo was one of the first municipalities that started to take advantage of the Affordable Housing Program. Back then it kind of evolved. There was an initial programs and then the programs evolved. So the partnership between the Region and the province and the federal government has been very effective and very strong from the very start.
