"Through many initiatives... what we have tried to do is to make a difference for those who need it most, and obviously social housing is a part of that," she said. John Bezaire, chair of thecoun- ty's social services committee, said that by far Goderich has the longest waiting list in Huron. "They're the ones that we've struggled with the most, so to see the bulk of the money come to Goderich is certainly going to make our jobs an awful lot easier," he said. The money is more than welcome in Clinton, he added, because there was a waiting list issue as well. "(This) announcement for Clinton should more or less clear that up," he said. Speaking to Goderich again, he said rental rates and the real estate market in this area make it impossible for some to make their rent. "This is a program that allows us to... (provide) comfortable, safe, reasonable housing at a price that (those in need) can afford," he said. The more than $1 million has been allocated for a project spon- sored by Bethel Pentecostal Church and the Goderich Salvation Army, This Spot Available Call the Huron Expositor 527-0240 HILDEBRAND PAINT & PAPER Call Doug for all of your painting and wallpapering needs Seaforth 519-527-0058 (519) 525.6078 44, oVpTE • Drywall • Taping • Plaster Repair • Renovations Brian Gowan Renovations S 19-273-803 I 519-854-5254 view our work at www.arboursarden.ca This Spot Available Call the Huron Expositor 527-0240 UPSHALL Backhoe Service • Backhoe • Durnp Truck • Septic Installation Call: Dan Upshall Ph: 519-522-0984 Cell: 519-949-0183 Egme.ndville Bezaire said 12 to 15 affordable housing units would likely be cre- ated through this project, though plans have not been finalized. The location of this facility has yet to be confirmed, and parties involved will not confirm if it will result in the construction of a new facility or the modification of an existing building. An additional $141,000 was allo- cated for a three -unit project at 18 Waterloo St. in Goderich. The monies allocated for Clinton are intended for a six -unit project on Albert St. "The idea of this program is to keep the rents at a reasonable level," said Dave Overboe, admin - • Agricultural • Residential • Commercial • Pole Line Construction 1 ELECTRIC Ramey R.R. # 4 Seaforth, ON NOK 1 WO 1 (519) 522-1556 11 11 11.11 11 11 1i • I1 '11 11 11 p. iia Box Furniture & Floor Coverings e1111. • Hunter Douglas Blinds • Floor Coverings • Fine Furniture • Simmons Mattresses 20 Main St. Seaforth (519) 527-0680 www.boxfumiture.ca RICK ,REIN ARPENTRY R.R. #2 Seafcrrth, Ontario NOK I WO email: rgrein@ezlink.ca Tel: 519-522-0599 (;ell: 519-281-7325 Additions, Renovations, Cabinetry and Millwork Residential or Commercial 30 Years of Experience McKILLOP MUTUAL �INSURANCE COMPANY 91 Main St. South, Seaforth Office 519-527-0400 1-800-463-9204 Fax 519-527-2777 HOME, COMMERCIAL FARM, AUTO COVERAGES Bob McNaughton 519-527-1571 Graeme Craig 519-887-9381 Shannon Craig 519-887-9381 Donald Taylor 519-482-9976 Banter, MacEwan & Feagan Insurance Brokers Ltd. 519-524-8376 Gaiser Kneale Insurance Brokers Inc. 519-482-3401 Thames Ins.

"Young families just getting started or young couples, young singles coming into the county — we want to encourage them to be employed within town, and we have to have good, reasonable accommodations." Though an Ontario election is set for October, both Bezaire and Overboe are confident the money allocated will be received when it is needed.
