AFFORDABLE HOUSING
As a municipality, Kitchener's jurisdiction doesn't allow us to build or operate affordable or supportive housing. What we can do are things like providing land and incentives for affordable housing to be built.
We can allow for more units to be added to existing properties.
We can create ways to keep affordable rents affordable.
Here are the programs and incentives Kitchener has created:
Growing Together
Inclusionary Zoning
Enabling 4 Units
Adding Up To 2 Additional Units For A Total Of 3
Building Kitchener Together
Not For Profit Affordable & Co-op Housing Incentive Pilot
Rental Replacement Bylaw
More details on these programs can be found HERE
The City Of Kitchener has to increase the number of homes all along the housing continuum.
This includes shelter, transitional, social, affordable, supportive, attainable
And market rate rental and home ownership opportunities.
