building nestled in a residential neighbourhood and ideally located close to
downtown Goderich will soon offer affordable housing to individuals and families
in Huron County.

The design by Ritz Architects of Stratford incorporates unique features into the apartments, with the curved wall at the staircase duplicated in the adjacent apartment, transom windows that carry the natural sunlight from the living room through to a bedroom in another, and a separate entrance to yet another.
Rents in the affordable housing project are based on 80 per cent of current market rates in Huron County.

"The house is a mess, and Daddy will fix it," he told Katie, who burst into tears when she heard her toys were gone. "And the toys you lost you will get back at Christmas."
