Where we live is one of the most fundamental to our ability to thrive. Having a decent roof over one’s head is critical on so many levels. When purchasing a home or renting a space, we want somewhere that is safe, clean, meets our needs and within our budget. Some of us look for good schools, close to shopping, accessibility and the list goes on. We want neighbours who are friendly to give us a sense of community, who respect their property and ours. We want to be happy about where we live.
Today’s show digs deep into those foundational values. Two weeks ago, two board members of Transition House, the county’s only emergency shelter, were on this show, I am very please to have a representative of the Good Neighbours Coalition of Cobourg here to give their side of this story to ensure we have another perspective on this situation.
Next, two county representatives will be in the studio to talk about the next phase of Northumberland efforts to provide affordable housing. On December 2, Cobourg council listened to a report on the specific needs within the town to meet the demand. Other municipalities within the county are also getting the same presentation for their specific areas. We will delve into the details to see what it means.
