The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is inviting all residents to complete a confidential and anonymous online survey as part of a Housing Needs Assessment, which is currently underway. The Housing Needs Assessment will provide a comprehensive assessment of the housing needs and affordability challenges facing everyone in communities across Chatham-Kent, and identify actionable strategies to address priority housing gaps. The project will evaluate the specific needs of a variety of sub-populations such as younger adults, seniors, the unhoused, individuals requiring supportive or assisted living, and those seeking nonmarket housing solutions.
Residents are asked to share their experiences and thoughts about their current housing situation in the municipality.
“The Housing Needs Assessment is an important opportunity for us,” said Ray Harper, Director of Housing Development. “The report will help Council understand the housing landscape across Chatham-Kent and will help us plan for future housing initiatives using recent data. Everyone’s input is valuable and appreciated.”
The survey is available to all residents through the Let’s Talk Chatham-Kent website from January 6 to January 26, 2025. The findings of the full Housing Needs Assessment will be presented to Council in mid-March 2025.
