An Attainable Housing Strategy is a strategic action plan for addressing the gap between the demand for and supply of attainable housing in a community.

The Municipality has already developed a Housing Background Report which presents an examination of the current need for housing, including attainable housing, as well as the current supply of housing.  The AHS builds on this work to provide additional analysis of the supply of non-market/community housing as well as housing affordability in Strathroy-Caradoc.  The AHS will also include strategic recommendations to address any gaps in the attainable housing supply based on the assessment of supply and demand, a review of the policy framework, and best practices in other jurisdictions.

The first phase of the AHS includes an assessment of the demand for and supply of non-market/community housing as well as housing affordability, building on the work that has already been completed by the Municipality.

The second phase of the AHS involves a review of the policies and strategies which have an impact on attainable housing in the Municipality.  This phase will also include an environmental scan of best and promising practices that other jurisdictions have used to address similar attainable housing issues/gaps.

This project will have an important impact on your community so your input is important and valued.  We encourage you to monitor the project page for virtual engagement opportunities, including surveys, virtual public meetings, and forums.  

In the meantime, please think about how you would like your community to look.  One example is: "Strathroy Caradoc has a range of housing options which meet the needs of all its residents, from young people just starting their careers, families with children, seniors who would like to remain in their own community even as they age, and people with disabilties."
