On average, a Guelph home costs around $700K, and the rent for a two-bedroom unit is about $2,300. These prices are well above the provincial definition of affordable (i.e. less than 30% of before-tax income).
Today, we welcome three voices from across the housing spectrum to address housing-related issues such as rent controls, the challenges involved in addressing the housing shortage, and the duty of developers to build affordable homes.
David Halls, a local realtor and philanthropist, shares his perspective on the home ownership market.
Gail Hoekstra is a housing and poverty advocate and executive director of Stepping Stone. She outlines the roles of Transitional and Supportive Housing in Guelph.
Daria Allan-Ebron is the executive director of Family & Children’s Services of Guelph and Wellington County and the CEO of Kindle Communities Incorporated. She explains how Family & Children's Services has stepped in to help those on the margins of society.
