What can a municipality do to stimulate affordable housing?

In the nine weeks that Nicole has been doorknocking and speaking at events, a recurring theme comes up in conversations with residents: housing. In particular, affordable housing. In this short video, Nicole talks about what the Town of Cobourg has done to stimulate affordable housing in the community and some of the commitments she proposes to create shovel-ready lands for affordable housing should she be elected as Deputy Mayor. Social infrastructure is a crucial area of focus in her campaign, which you can learn more about here. You can also read Nicole’s responses to questions from the Northumberland Affordable Housing Committee here.
