1429 Main St. E. in Hamilton - soon to be the Dr. John M. Perkins Centre!

 

Homestead is pleased to announce that the Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program has awarded $5.29 million towards building 46 apartments at 1429 Main St. E. in Hamilton. 

Homestead is seeking to raise an additional $1 million for the remaining costs of the project including the main and lower floors that will house the Dr. John M. Perkins Centre, a place where the community can access socially responsible goods and services.  Two commercial tenants already in place include a bicycle co-op and an artist/makers co-op.
