Affordable Housing Summit

In April 2024, the County of Renfrew hosted its first Affordable Housing Summit, a full day which opened a dialogue towards the development of critical relationships to grow affordable housing across the Renfrew County region.

The goal of the Summit was to identify innovative partnership opportunities. It was a dynamic gathering aimed at creating a collaborative environment for developers, builders, investors, real estate specialists, elected officials and municipal staff to spark out-of-the box-thinking to address the housing crisis being felt across Ontario and beyond.

The Affordable Housing Summit Report was presented to County Council with the findings, including 12 key recommendations. A video captured the objectives and highlights of the day.
