Studies, projects, and local official plan approvals
There is a need to increase housing options and affordability in Peel.
Peel Region is implementing Housing and Homelessness Plan (PHHP) and Housing Strategy. The PHHP is a community plan to prevent homelessness in Peel by helping residents to attain and retain housing. The Housing Strategy outlines strategies and planning tools available to Peel to increase the supply of affordable housing in Peel. These initiatives address housing needs and help make housing more accessible, diverse, and affordable.
Peel Region is working with local municipalities and community stakeholders, such as development applicants, to better meet housing needs identified in the PHHP and Housing Strategy and to implement housing policies. Learn more about housing policies and affordability.
Peel Affordable Rental Incentive Program
As part of the PHHP and in alignment the Regional policies, Peel Region developed an Affordable Rental Incentives Program focused on creating units that are affordable to low and moderate-income households. After a successful pilot, Regional Council made the program permanent in 2022.

An age-friendly community:
- Enables people of all ages to be engaged and participate in activities; and
- Treats everyone with respect, regardless of age.
Peel Region is working with local municipalities to foster a more age-friendly community by improving Peel's built environment, policies, and services for older adults.
