Society of Saint Vincent de Paul unveils east London, Ont. affordable housing plans
The goal is to build 60 affordable homes in a medium-rise apartment made up of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.
The homes will serve “people in need,” said John Ketelaars, the president of the London Particular Council with Saint Vincent de Paul.“They don’t have to be Catholic, they don’t have to be Protestant, they don’t have to be Atheist, they have to be in need. That’s our one and only criteria,” Ketelaars said.
The upcoming affordable housing development will sit on a 0.83 acre plot of land next to St. Andrew the Apostle Parish which currently serves as the church’s parking lot.The land was provided by the Diocese of London, under the recommendation of members from St. Andrew the Apostle Parish.
“As the property owners … it was really just agreeing and authorizing to this deal. There’s some procedural matters to go through, but at the end of the day, it was something that everyone was committed to making sure happened.”Jardine added that the Diocese will provide any additional support it can to Saint Vincent de Paul as the development comes together.
