Horwath Speaks Out for More Social Housing

Creating more affordable housing will lessen the need for emergency shelters in
northwestern Ontario.

That's the feeling of NDP leader Andrea Horwath.

She was in Kenora on Friday and talked about some of the challenges facing the Kenora Fellowship Center.

Horwath says emergency shelters are not supposed to provide affordable housing for the homeless and says there's a problem when people are staying at places like the Fellowship Center for more than a month at a time.
