Regional Housing Task Force South Georgian Bay
This comprehensive report outlines the urgent issue we are facing and the implications for our region. “The ad hoc, Regional Affordable Housing Task Force recommends that each municipality form a dedicated affordable housing committee as the issue is broad and complex. Once such committees are in place, we envision that one or two people from each of those teams would form a regional table to share knowledge, best practices, and potentially additional resources. To date, many presentations have been made to most area municipalities whose councils adopted the idea in principle with requests for staff reports on the best paths forward in forming such committees.” Marg Scheben-Edey, Chair
As a group of housing advocates and interested individuals, the Regional Housing Task Force South Georgian Bay spent months looking at the issue through a regional lens including the Town of the Blue Mountains, Clearview, Collingwood, Meaford, and Wasaga Beach. This regional view has not been done before yet we know we function largely as a socio-economic region.
