State of Housing in Guelph - Housing Affordability Strategy Update

December 12, 2023

In December 2023, the State of Housing in Guelph Report was published. This report is a statistical analysis of the current and emerging housing needs in Guelph, helping to identify the City’s greatest housing needs. The report is the foundation for the recommendations in the 2024 Housing Affordability Strategy.

To begin to address housing affordability in Guelph, the following will need to occur:

  • More primary rental units are needed to meet increased demand as housing becomes increasingly unaffordable;
  • Smaller units will be needed in Guelph to meet the increased demand as household sizes decrease;
  • Additional residential units will be needed to provide more accessible affordable housing options for lower income earners; and,
  • More supportive and subsidized housing is needed to meet the needs of lower income earners.
