Philip Wolf: Vicc gets some press

Affordable Housing
Have been discussing affordable housing with a number of people lately and usually what comes up is how one defines it. I came up, literally, with these two definitions that I think put it quite succinctly.

Affordable Housing:

Housing, whether purchased or rented, that cost no more than 30% of a person or families monthly gross income.

Subsidized/Social:

Housing, whether purchased or rented, that is supported by Municipal/Provincial/Federal subsidies and cost no more than 30% of a person or families monthly gross income.
