TORONTO, Sept. 11, 2017 /CNW/ - The Greater Toronto Area will get more affordable housing, thanks in part to a special effort involving a coalition of religious communities. On September 13th, leaders from a variety of faith communities will come together on a Habitat for Humanity GTA build site in east end Toronto to help build 15 homes for working, low-income families. Brought together by Faith in Canada 150 – a program of think tank Cardus – these faith leaders will build on the common ground of multi-faith dialogue and solidarity. Their contributions to the build site on Pinery Trail will help provide affordable homeownership to families in need of a safe, decent, and affordable place to call home.
