NL's housing minister told us what the Town of Gander needs to do next to turn an abandoned church into affordable housing

CBC Newfoundland Morning

Two years ago, the town of Gander bought an abandoned Pentecostal Church building, planning to use it to benefit the community. A local group has made a proposal to convert it to affordable and transitional housing, with space to run assistance programs. Gander Mayor Percy Farwell says the project is ready to go, but the town is waiting for money from the province to pay for it. Fred Hutton, the provincial minister of housing spoke with the CBC's Leigh Anne Power.
