Do you have an idea or opportunity for an affordable housing project in Halton? Halton Region wants to hear from you

Halton Region’s Housing Task Force is calling on residents and organizations to share their ideas for the development of affordable housing opportunities in Halton at two public meetings being held on Thursday, May 14 and Thursday, May 21.

Formed in November 2008, at the request of Regional Council, the Housing Task Force is charged with identifying potential development opportunities for affordable housing in Halton, including emergency, transitional and assisted housing. Members of the task force are required to report back to Council later this year with recommendations for developing potential housing projects that can be achieved in the short-term, including costs, potential sites and models of development.

“When it comes to creating more affordable housing options in Halton, we want to consider every approach – no matter how big or small,” said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. “Healthy communities are ones that include a range of housing options to meet the needs of all individuals and I am really encouraging residents to tell us their ideas and share their vision for their community.”

The public meetings for the Housing Task Force will take place on Thursday, May 14 from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the Town of Halton Hills Council Chambers located at 1 Halton Hills Drive, Georgetown and on Thursday, May 21 from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at Halton Regional Council Chambers located at 1151 Bronte Road, Oakville.

Residents and organizations who wish to delegate are asked to pre-register by calling Paul Gregory at Halton Region at 905-825-6000, ext. 4423, toll free at 1-866-442-5866, TTY 905-827-9833, or by email at Paul.Gregory@halton.ca.
