The city staff report noted the recent completion of four multi-family development projects were significant contributors to that initial gain, as they made up 199 of the new units that year.

The report went on to say the recent changes made to the Official Community Plan should continue to see progress made in building new homes and hitting that target as it “promotes residential density within the urban containment boundary and fosters a culture cooperation with the home building community.”

Looking ahead the report stated some actions would be taken to try to improve the process and get more homes built quickly. Those include streamlining the development application process; implement a tool to track the number of housing units that reach occupancy; review software systems to identify areas for improvement on housing supply data collection and share that information with the Ministry of Housing; and continue to build and strengthen partnerships with organizations, other levels of government, and stakeholders.
