Welcome to Streetsville Indwell! Great to see all levels of government come together to build much needed supportive housing in #Mississauga👏 I got to meet neighbours in Streetsville who were out of options, but now have a safe, supportive and affordable place to call home🏡

Thank you Alvin Tedjo It takes all of us working together to make sure our most vulnerable have housing.

It was great to have you drop in and enjoy the festivities!
