After a concerted effort from the community, The Mount Community Centre has raised $6,272,755 towards building more affordable housing units announced on Sunday.
The money was raised through their Building Opportunity Campaign that was seeking a goal of $4 million for the 10-acre property. All of the funding was done through the volunteers.
Beavermead Construction was the company tasked to do the building however over 200 volunteers have done the painting, furnishing and landscaping.
Since August, 63 housing units have already been developed since 2013.
The units already contain several amenities such as a food centre, office space, public venue space and the Fulcrum Café.
