Mayor and Council have approved 51 new homes at Mi Casa (870 E.8th Ave), a social housing site operated by the Red Door Society. The new development, which includes a minimum 30 per cent of homes for tenants with income below $60,000, will replace the existing deteriorating 22 unit building, and deliver new affordable rental homes available on a month-to-month basis.
