City of Sault Ste. Marie: Housing Action Plan
City of Sault Ste. Marie: Housing Action Plan
The City of Sault Ste. Marie is currently developing a Housing Action Plan to address the evolving housing needs of the City. Safe, accessible, and affordable housing is widely recognized as a foundation of complete and healthy communities, and an important contributor to individual and community social, environmental, and economic wellbeing. However, like many municipalities across Canada and in Ontario, the supply and affordability of adequate housing has emerged as a critical challenge.
This Plan represents an important initiative towards advancing the City’s housing objectives, and in doing so, functions to address near- and longer-term housing needs. It establishes a total of five Goals and supporting Strategic Actions that will contribute to the provision of housing for all residents of the City.
The City welcomes participation in the development of the Housing Action Plan from all residents interested in the future of housing. Your insights, perspectives and feedback will be used to shape the final Housing Action Plan that will be presented to Council in December 2023.
Please download a copy of the draft Housing Action Plan or read the summary provided under the Housing Action Plan tab. Let us know which actions are the most important to you through one of our consultation methods: in-person open houses; through the comment box on this site; or by reaching out to us via email or phone.
