Six Saskatoon families have received the keys to their new, affordable homes on Slimmon Road.

Justice Minister and Saskatoon Southeast MLA Don Morgan says, in Saskatoon alone, the provincial government has provided $1.77 million to give families stable housing.

This is the final six units of the 12-unit Slimmon Road project. The homes are townhouse-style condominiums of which three were universally designed, meaning they are livable and accessible for anyone regardless of age, ability or status.

The provincial and federal governments have entered into a new agreement under the National Housing Strategy. It will invest $449.9 million over the next 10 years, to be cost-matched by each government.
