An option for better, affordable housing is making its way to Chatham-Kent with 30 new soon-to-be-available homes.
When it comes to affordable housing, Ontario can often be seen as one that is lacking. Opportunity Villages, a non-profit group is changing that with Chatham-Kent’s first modern life-lease small home community.
The houses will come about 10% below the current market value in the area, to be built just off Grand Avenue East between Memory Lane and Taylor Avenue in Chatham, and will be Kent’s first modern life-lease small home community.
“We’re well past the dreaming stage and are running at full speed towards finishing the final site plans and getting ready to have some shovels in the ground as soon as possible,” said Steve Pratt, Board President of the OVCLT. “There are approximately 30 houses that will be available. We are reaching out to the community now to gather expressions of interest which will help inform our final decisions.”
Those interested in the project can visit www.ovclt.ca to provide their contact information and get updates, including unit floor plans, and details on how and when to purchase.
