Premier Christy Clark officially marked the beginning of construction on 30 new affordable housing units to provide safe, supportive housing to single mothers and their children, thanks to a partnership between the province of British Columbia, the City of Coquitlam and the YWCA. The project is funded through a $7.3-million grant from the Province, land donated from the City of Coquitlam valued at $1.8 million and $1 million in contributions from the YWCA and its supporters. The province will also provide annual operating funding of $136,961 once the building is complete.  News release:
