During Monday’s council meeting, council unanimously voted to support the ad-hoc housing development committee’s application for feasibility study seed funding from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), in the amount of $10,000.

The study would support the development of a housing project on Manitoba Street East, next to Wakamow Valley, which is still in the early stages.

Under consideration is a 16-unit affordable-housing project for young adults coping with long-term mental-health issues.

Submitting the funding application will be the Moose Jaw Non-Profit Housing Corporation. Council will instruct administration to issue a letter of support for the application.

Currently, the request for support is just that, a request for support, city manager Garry McKay said, adding the ad-hoc committee would have liked approval to commitment to funding, but it realizes that’s not the intent of Monday’s motion.
