Affordable housing and homelessness solutions
Peel Region will continue to partner with the province to develop and deliver lasting housing solutions.
Actions we're taking
Affordable housing
To address the housing crisis, Peel Region needs more provincial and federal funding to build affordable, supportive, and rental housing, expand shelter spaces, and maintain existing services.
We continue to advocate to the federal and provincial governments for the following:
- Provide support included under the Peel Community Housing Development Program
- Protect existing community housing stock through capital funding
- Support Peel Region applications for funding under the Build Canada Homes program
- Adopt a more coordinated and integrated approach to funding supportive housing and wraparound services across Ministries
- Transition to a one-third cost-share model for housing supports, integrating wraparound services and supportive housing funding
Homelessness
Homelessness and encampments are increasing across Peel, putting pressure on shelters and emergency services. Current funding is not enough to meet growing demand or provide the long-term housing and supports people need.
Peel is calling for stronger provincial and federal investment in supportive housing and homelessness services to help more people move into stable housing.
