Council will be voting today on the $30m City grant to More Than A Roof for them to build the 212 unit social housing project at 1395 Rolston, on the Granville Loops. (There's also funding from BC Housing). 52% of the units will be for families.

Site work restarted but I assume they won't get much work done with all the road closures/traffic until World Cup ends.
