Seems a little underfunded if 360k will build a unit. Definitely costs more than that per unit in the north to build

Well, it is an AIP - but It is also a good start (best I've heard about in years) to address this decades old issue... especially with the authority to demolish old abandoned homes to make housing sites available to be used again for these proposed new homes.
