Giving homes, sweet homes
"Giving homes, sweet homes" in the Toronto Star, Dec. 21, 2006 by Jim Beyers:
Yesterday, she and [Gabriel] left the two-bedroom unit they have to themselves at the Project Amik complex on Coxwell Ave. and attended a Christmas dinner in the reception hall. Instead of worrying about her son getting into trouble, Migwans' biggest concern looked to be getting Gabriel to tuck into his turkey and vegetables and not checking out the dessert tray.
Migwans and [Steve Biagoni] are just a couple of the people rescued by Project Amik - which was built with a lot of sweat from community workers and help from the City of Toronto and other groups - and with a $943,000 forgivable loan from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Company's Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program.
