SB 108-10: Social Housing Act (Passed)

[beesley]

This bill will spur the construction of new social housing, a key part of the social safety net overlooked in Atlasia. New social housing will not only provide housing for those who need it, particularly in areas with shortages of affordable housing, but residents will benefit from the security of such housing compared to private rental. The Department will allocate funding for new homes based on an application basis with no further cost to municipalities than what is already outlined in the bill.

I appreciate the constructive comments made by Mr. R and I will consider them. I urge other Senators not to object to the amendment for the next few hours while I do so.

[beesley]

Just to be clear, is that an objection?

Nope. I confused myself after seeing that it had stalled. In that case, I presume the amendment has been adopted.

[beesley]

Just to be clear, I support Mr. R's amendment.
