Housing Needs Report
In 2019, the Province passed legislation requiring local governments to collect and analyze population and housing-related data to identify current and future housing needs and reflect those needs in a Housing Needs Report.
The two parts of creating this report involve summarizing core data from the Province and getting input from the community.
In January, the City launched a Housing Needs Survey and received 400 responses. The results can be found here.
All of the information collected is being used to help the City better understand local housing needs and experiences.
