Windsor and Affordable Housing

Eastern population: Officials in Windsor do not have the number of refugees who have moved to the city from other regions in the country, but it happens regularly, according to the New Canadian Centre of Excellence, according to CBC. Windsor is attractive because it has warmer weather, affordable housing and a large Middle Eastern population, said staff at the centre of excellence. In addition to the 988 Syrian refugees that arrived in Hamilton over the past several months, an estimated 150 more have moved to that city from Toronto. Farzat has already helped two families transplant to Windsor. "A lot of families want to come to Windsor because of the weather and because of the cost," he said. "But it not easy to find houses and arrange everything for families." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
