After 11 years living in an apartment with her teenage daughter, Karine Miousse says she needed an affordable home after the building’s new landlord forced residents to move. 

Last year, she found it. Not another apartment, but a mobile home for sale close to the hospital she works in as an urgent care nurse. 

“Other homes in Laval are $400-500,000, and I’m a single parent, so I didn't know how I would afford that,” says Miousse.
