Halton Regional Allocation Programs
Halton Region shares the Provincial goal of building more homes, faster. We accelerate growth by planning, financing and delivering transportation, water and wastewater infrastructure. Halton’s Allocation Programs help fund the timely construction of growth-related infrastructure to support the Local Municipalities in meeting their housing pledges and increasing the housing supply.
The Region produces an Annual Enhanced Growth Monitoring (EGM) report, providing relevant data, a review of current development trends, and up-to-date Regional water and wastewater system capacity to support active monitoring and the fair distribution of Halton’s available servicing capacity.
In addition to the above, the EGM process provides a point in time for eligible Allocation Program participants with IDUs seeking conversion to SDEs to submit their requests through an annual landowner survey. The latest survey was open from , and the results will be provided along with the latest EGM report for review by Local Municipalities.
