'Minister Calandra basically seems to say go 'jump in a lake,'' said MP Marcus Powlowski.

THUNDER BAY — As the province falls short on its promised affordable housing builds, local MPs say the federal government is trying to work with Ontario to find a solution so agencies like the District of Thunder Bay Social Services Administration Board won't lose out on millions of dollars in funding.

Bill Bradica, the CAO of the TBDSSAB, said the agency would lose out on $4.2 million that was slotted for capital repairs, operational funding, and new builds after federal housing minister Sean Fraser announced last week that Ontario will not receive $357 million in funding. Thunder Bay – Rainy River member of Parliament Marcus Powlowski said only a small portion of the agreed-upon units have been built since the inception of the National Housing Strategy in 2018.
