🏠 It's YIMBY Week and we're saying YES. 🙌

YIMBY: Yes In My Backyard. It's not just a slogan, it's a belief that everyone deserves a safe, affordable, hopeful place to call home.

Housing that is affordable across the income spectrum is essential infrastructure. And right now, too many people are being priced out, pushed away from support, and left without stable housing.

That's why this week, UWSM employees proudly joined the flag raisings in Clearview and Orillia, standing up for the people who need it most.

Yes in our backyard. Every time. 🏠
