More than 730 residential buildings will be refurbished across the Windsor region
Federal and local governments, along with major institutions, have announced an investment of $170 million for the repair and refurbishment of 4,700 community homes in Windsor, Ontario.
Authorities made the announcement at Fontainebleau Towers in 2455 Rivard Avenue, one of the more than 730 buildings being renewed through the regeneration plan, the governments said.
“The portfolio project will upgrade and extend the lifespan of thousands of homes, while improving over 12,000 tenants’ health, safety, comfort, and overall quality of life,” the governments said.
The repairs are already underway and will continue to take place over the next seven years.

“While we must remain committed to building more affordable homes and finding innovative solutions to mitigate the housing crisis, we also need to ensure those already receiving support through the Windsor Essex Community Housing Corporation have safe and updated household amenities to meet ongoing needs,” said Mayor Drew Dilkens. “The city of Windsor is proud to partner with the government of Canada and county of Essex on our region’s largest investment in the public housing sector.”
