Huron-Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson is supportive and happy with the creation of a new nine-member Housing Affordability Task Force, that will provide the government with recommendations on how to address market housing supply and affordable.
The task force will set out to explore measures to address housing affordability by increasing the supply of market rate rental and ownership housing, building housing supply in complete communities, reducing red tape and accelerating timelines, encouraging innovation and digital modernization, supporting economic recovery and job creation, and balancing housing needs with protecting the environment.
“While affordable housing is often seen as an urban issue, I know full well that it is also a very big concern here in Huron-Bruce,” Thompson said in a press release. “Housing prices across the riding have soared in recent years, making it nearly impossible for young families to own their own home. I look forward to some positive ideas resulting from this task force.”
