“I love to see things with my own eyes and see that we’re getting value for the investments we make. There’s good work happening in communities that we can enable. And it’s just remarkable what you’ve accomplished here. It’s really meaningful.”
–– Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure & Communities of Canada
“I’m blown away. And I say that as someone who is a single mom, who raised two kids, and at one point life turned me upside down. I was lucky, I had a village to support me. But when you don’t, this is the village. You are building the village for people who don’t have one.”
–– Ya’ara Saks, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions & Associate Minister of Health
“We are at Bob and Michael's Place, a really innovative community housing development brought forward by Carol Lee – a community champion, particularly in Chinatown, but also here in the Downtown Eastside.
The project proponents and developers all worked together to make this amazing community housing for low-income people and also middle-income people. It's a beautiful housing development and I was really proud to show it off to Andrew [Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador.]”
– David Eby, Premier of British Columbia
