Public service announcement
The Town of Milton has launched a survey on local housing needs as the first step in creating a strategy to help address local housing issues.
Ensuring that range of housing options are provided in our community involves teamwork between the Town and the regional, provincial, and federal governments, as well as community partners, agencies, and homebuilders.
While the Town does not build or manage housing, municipalities create conditions that support housing through long-term planning, facilitating approvals, and issuing permits.
The Town is developing a Housing Strategy to guide this work.
Phase one of the strategy involves a Housing Needs Assessment (HNA), to collect input on local housing needs and identify preliminary gaps and issues to focus on.
The HNA will explore and answer questions such as:
- Where is the greatest housing need in our community?
- How can we set meaningful, measurable housing targets to support a range of housing options that meets the needs of all residents?
- What quantity, sizes and prices of housing will ensure that all current and future households can live in suitable, adequate, and affordable housing?
Please complete the housing needs survey on Let’s Talk Milton before January 3, 2025.
