​
At this time The WWHA, Inc. requested that we be permitted to sit down with the representatives of the landowners to provide our comments and feedback.
​
The WWHA, Inc. believes an affordable and diverse housing supply is an essential foundation that meets the needs of our growing population. In the City of Vaughan, where housing costs have historically risen faster than household incomes, an affordable housing supply is necessary to ensure safe, secure house is available to all residents. Particular attention should be directed towards seniors, young people initiating careers and residents who are increasingly challenged by the unaffordability of Vaughan's housing market. In a stable, welcoming community built on principles of sustainability, housing choices should include a mix of homeownership and rental opportunities across housing types, sizes, and price points to accommodate diverse populations. As important as this is, however, access to affordable housing is unattainable for many people in the City of Vaughan. While core housing need is experienced by both renter and owner households, it is not evenly distributed between the house tenures.
​
The WWHA, Inc., respectively requested to allow The WWHA, Inc., and community members to work with City Planning Staff and the applicant's representative to ensure good planning and the right of families and individuals to live in affordable housing in any corner of our great City.

Councillor Adriano Volpentesta has scheduled a Community Consultation Meeting on Thursday, May 25th, 2023 at 7:00 PM at Father E. Bulfon Community Centre, Activity Room 1.
