Hastings County Council has approved two motions, paving the way for improvements to hundreds of housing units, and more affordable housing.
Chief Administrative Officer Jim Pine says councillors voted, during a conference call today, in favour of the capital work plan to send to senior governments.
That will allow the county to use five-million dollars funding from the provincial and federal governments to spruce up housing units owned or managed by Hastings-Quinte Social Services.
Pine says council also approved an application for 20 new affordable units in Belleville and the same number in Trenton.
