An introductory report asking Council to receive the plan, timeline and deliverables for the new Housing Affordability Strategy, expected to be finished by late 2024. The strategy will look for policy changes, tools, incentives and partnerships to close gaps in market housing, starting with a housing gap analysis by the end of 2023. It also examines where "gentle density" could fit on Guelph properties.
