TENANTS SPEAK OUT
Local tenants speak up about the lack of maintenance of our local affordable housing supply. Funded almost entirely by the City of Kingston, the housing manager denies any remorse or responsibility.
TINY HOMES FOR KINGSTON
Habitat for humanity and the City of Kingston are working together to build tiny homes, for a not yet determined group. This is a good start to a much needed mixed housing landscape, which will potentially help some on the affordable housing waitlist.
PRICED OUT!
