Housing is an issue not only in the tri-community, but also all across Canada. It can be challenging for families to find affordable housing and acquire a down payment to purchase a home. The Pas Community Development Corporation (CDC) is offering a second round of their Pay Down Assistance Program for first-time homebuyers. “One of the toughest things for people is to save up enough money for a down payment on their first home,” said The Pas CDC Economic Development Coordinator Jackie Rechenmacher.
