Entre Nous Femme Housing Society’s redevelopment of 46-unit rental building in the Grandview-Woodland neighbourhood will double the number of affordable rent units. The project also features an amenity space on the top floor that opens to a large outdoor rooftop with a community garden and a play area for children. Entre Nous Femmes is Canada’s first women-led housing organization focused on providing homes to single-parent families, started by three women who wanted to improve their own lives and lives of other single mother and children.
