The provincial government is spending $67 million on upgrades to Manitoba Housing properties this fiscal year.
Three government ministers — James Teitsma, Janice Morley-Lecomte and Rochelle Squires — made the announcement in the parking lot of a public housing townhouse complex on Marlene Street in the St. Vital neighbourhood Wednesday, which is being substantially renovated inside and out for $4.1 million.
Government Services Minister Teitsma said the Marlene Street renovations in Winnipeg are among the 89 social housing projects underway across the province in 2023-2024.

Government Services Minister James Teitsma said the Marlene Street renovations in Winnipeg are among the 89 social housing projects underway across the province in 2023-2024.
“This is a great example of the kind of progress that we’ve been seeing through our investments in Manitoba’s housing stock,” he said.
The Marlene Street townhouses are going from three rooms to five, among other renovations.
The projects include sites in Winnipeg, Brandon, Churchill, Dauphin, Flin Flon, Portage la Prairie, Selkirk, The Pas, Virden, Swan River, Wanless, St-Lazare, Sheridon, Grand Rapids and Cormorant.
The renovations at various sites include exterior and interior retrofits; fire and life-safety equipment upgrades; mechanical, structural and security work; and repairs to drive and walkways and parking lots.
Some of the $67 million will also be used for a new housing complex meant for six families in the Lavalee area of Winnipeg.
