Money is on the table for eight affordable housing projects across Yukon, according to Yukon government officials.
The projects, which are slated to be built in areas such as Whitehorse, Teslin and Dawson City, shake out to 102 units, said Ranj Pillai, the minister responsible for the Yukon Housing Corporation.
Falling under the Housing Initiatives Fund, the units build on work to support those struggling to find housing or make rent, he said, noting proposals paid particular attention to the needs of seniors and those grappling with homelessness, among other things.
