Regional Housing Needs Study is Underway!

In December 2018, the RDN initiated a regional housing study. The purpose o the project is to gather applicable information, a mix of statistical information and stakeholder input, to provide an comprehensive picture of the region's housing needs of today and of tomorrow. This project will build on past knowledge and supplement these studies with new analysis and data. The results will then be used to update and inform the RGS policies regarding the character and location of housing needed to support livability throughout the region.

The outcomes of the study are expected in the Spring 2020 and are intended to help advance the RGS Goal 6: Facilitate the provision of appropriate, adequate, attainable, affordable and adaptable housing and align with the soon to be adopted Provincial requirements for local governments to prepare housing capacity assessments.
