You better check the article for clarity:
“We want all income levels to be able to use the project,” he said Wednesday. “Definitely newcomers, particularly refugees, will benefit from it but we also want young adults, people with disabilities, seniors. It’s newcomer-focused but with large eligibility.”
"In total, the project will cost more than $100 million to complete. Though the majority of the money will come from a loan from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s affordable housing fund, Cross Cultural still needs to raise $2 million as part of the agreement with the federal agency."
Just ranting about immigrants is not helpful. And if everyone that moves in is an immigrant, then it frees up space for other buildings.
