The Strathroy Rotary Club just gave the United Way of Elgin Middlesex a big boost. The Club presented a 50-thousand dollar cheque to the charity as part of their ongoing commitment to the Strathroy-Caradoc Housing Initiative and Connection Centre.
The numbers locally are very concerning.
- The vacancy rate in Strathroy-Caradoc is one of the lowest in the province at 1.1%
- 45% of renters live in unaffordable housing
- Over 250 people will be waiting up to 4 years for housing and there are no permanent emergency shelters in Middlesex County.
