Affordable Housing

Working with various organizations across Perth County, the Municipality of North Perth is committed to collaborative action on housing affordability, availability, and homelessness.

North Perth's Housing Action Plan was first approved by Council in August 2023. The Plan continuously evolves and includes initiatives to address North Perth's housing supply and support the development of more priority unit types.

The initiatives featured in the Action Plan are based on the findings of the Perth County Housing Needs Assessment (2023).

North Perth has developed an Attainable Housing Community Improvement Plan (CIP) featuring several financial incentive programs for residential and mixed-use commercial properties in North Perth. The goal of the CIP is to minimize financial barriers to the creation of rental affordable and attainable housing and encourage the development of a mix of housing along the Housing Continuum within North Perth. Learn more on the Attainable Housing CIP page.

North Perth is continuously seeking data on housing affordability in the municipality. Your municipal government wants to learn more about the real impacts of housing costs and a lack of housing stock on those who live or want to live in North Perth. Complete the Affordable Housing Survey
