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.

The $170 million project, approved Tuesday by city council, could lighten that load by providing everything from new apartment units to basement suites and mobile homes, he said.

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.

可以断定: 这项目对中国新老移民没有很大帮助, 只是隔壁家里开饭, 让你闻闻香而已.
