Peterborough to get new funding to help low-income tenants https://t.co/BqWUPyhYWU

[Income Security Peterborough @Income_Sec_Ptbo]

However, we feel the decision to cover operation shortfalls w/ money reallocated from the Housing Stability Fund is ill-advised, and that the money should come from another source.

We hope this does not get overlooked by council. (2/2)

We are happy to hear about the joint federal/provincial funding going towards Peterborough housing! (1/2)
