Hamilton is losing social housing money

Informações:

Synopsis

With the incoming end of the cap-and-trade program, Hamilton is losing around $17 million in funding for social housing. The money was earmarked to fund repairs and retrofits to improve the energy efficiency of social housing across the city. The end of cap-and-trade also scuttled $2 million for an elebtric-bus pilot project, $2.1 million for public school renovations and $1.2 million for Mohawk College’s new Centre for Climate Change Management. How is the city going to cope with this shortfall? Guest: Chad Collins, City Councillor, Ward 5
