IRCOM offers affordable apartments to newcomer families for up to three years after their arrival and a major renovation of an older apartment complex in downtown Winnipeg is underway, with the aim to create more affordable, better-quality housing options for newcomers. Renovations are underway, and 60 units are expected to be renovated under the funding project. The units will be designed to allow for multi-generational and larger families.
