Manitoba Housing and Community Development

Manitoba Housing is working with tenants and community organizations to create stronger communities through housing solutions by revitalizing our communities and improving neighbourhoods.

Through Manitoba's Long-Term Housing Strategy, HOMEWorks! (PDF) which was introduced in 2009, the Province of Manitoba, with the financial assistance of the Government of Canada continues to make significant investments in the development of social and affordable housing. The province promised the delivery of 1,500 affordable housing units across the province and has already committed to the development of over 900 units. HOMEWorks! supports ALL Aboard, Manitoba's Poverty Reduction strategy by increasing the supply of quality, affordable housing for low-income Manitobans. More information about HOMEWorks! is available here.

Four great examples:
Gilbert Park	Lord Selkirk Park	Central Park	River Point Centre
