The federal government says there are a million reasons to celebrate this National Housing Day, with almost a million Canadian families provided with housing support.

MP Anthony Rota says that includes 5,273 families in Nipissing-Timiskaming.

He says they have a safe and affordable place to call home thanks to $18.9 million dollars in federal funding.

Starting in Budget 2016, the Government of Canada made significant investments to build affordable housing and to make housing more affordable in general across Canada.
