Assisted and Supportive Housing Construction
Building more assisted housing for those who need it most
Halton Region has a long and effective history of responding to needs and delivering housing opportunities in our community. Through Regional developments and third party partnerships, Halton Region is helping to reach housing targets by bringing more assisted rental units for those who need it most.
Regional developments in progress
With funding support from other levels of government, we have shovels in the ground and active construction on new assisted housing developments in our community.
