THE COMMUNITY HOUSING TOOLBOX
This toolbox is for and by the West Island; to put tools in the hands of community members who want to develop affordable, accessible and sustainable community housing.
Through this community toolbox, we hope to promote awareness of the need for affordable housing and of available housing solutions in the West Island, to facilitate education and finally sustain and strengthen the sense of community in the West Island through collaboration and the sharing of knowledge and tools.
