The Manitoba Government is holding consultations on housing programs and proposed changes across the province.  The closest hearing to Flin Flon will be in The Pas next week.  The Flin Flon Neighborhood Revitalization Corporation’s Laurence Gillespie says he recently heard about the meeting and has applied to make a presentation and says Flin Flonners interested in housing should do the same to have their concerns heard.  He says it’s our best chance if we want to get our voices heard about the housing situation and what kind of programs we feel the government should have in place to address the housing situation and what kind of housing strategy there should be.

Gillespie adds even though the deadline to apply was yesterday since Flin Flon was left out of the process those interested should apply by emailing housingconsultation@gov.mb.ca or call the ministers office at 204-945-4075.  The meeting is being held in The Pas Library from 1 to 4 Wednesday afternoon addressing homelessness, housing affordability and availability and area specific concerns.
