The District of Muskoka is moving forward with an initiative aimed at keeping Muskoka's youth from couch surfing, and instead giving them an opportunity at a more solid future. The district will be using a $1.5 million grant from the provincial government along with over $500,000 from the affordable housing reserves. With interior work expected to start in January, the project will likely be finished by late 2021.
