Federal Housing Minister Sean Fraser told his Ontario counterpart Paul Calandra that he would not send the province $357 million it was expecting for affordable housing projects.
Rob Flack, Ontario's associate minister of housing, and Peterborough-Kawartha MPP Dave Smith announced $377,641 in funding for the two units at The Mount Community Centre.
Internal data shows Ontario has increased its homelessness spend over the past five years, while the provincial money for community housing appears to have fallen.
In early April the Trudeau government unveiled billions of dollars in funds for housing. It said the money would only flow if provinces met certain conditions.
