An ambitious city plan to build almost 4,000 new units of affordable housing in Edmonton over the next three years is welcome news for an advocate for the poor.

Cam McDonald, a spokesman with the YMCA, said demand is brisk these days for the organization's simple accommodations, which have become home to hundreds of people.

"I'm hoping that we can really start adding to the affordable housing, transition housing and supportive housing infrastructure in our community," he said.

"I did find a job within the first couple of days, but it's very difficult to find a place to live," said Darlene LePage, who moved from Montreal with her daughter to make a better life in boom-time Alberta.* x  y0 d5 i( N+ _' ~8 R! O6 @

But McDonald said the work will have to continue for five or even 10 years if Edmonton is going to meet the needs of those who can't find affordable housing.

You are right, it is just to help some extremely hopeless homeless people. I believe not many of us want to live in that kind of "affordable houses" and neighbourhood.

4000个units 到2010年完成. 也就是说一年1000多个. 而且注意," providing everything from new apartment units to basement suites and mobile homes," "is welcome news for an advocate for the poor"............................好象很多是为homeless or poor准备的.

我们大多数是按照技术移民被接纳的,这就意味着政府认为你在这个国家能自食其力,自己生存。廉价房屋当然没有考虑咱们的需要啦。
