The Town of Milton shares responsibility when it comes to housing. We don’t build or administer housing, but we do help create conditions through long-term planning, facilitating approvals, and issuing permits.

Creating housing involves teamwork between the Town and the regional, provincial and federal governments, community partners, agencies, and the homebuilding industry. The Housing Continuum illustrates areas in which the Town has the most influence.

To help address housing issues at the Town level, Milton is developing a Housing Strategy, in phases. This will start with a Housing Needs Assessment, and end with an Action Plan and Implementation Roadmap.

The Housing Strategy will identify vision, goals, objectives, targets, and actions to meet the housing needs of current and future residents. The Housing Strategy will involve engagement with the public, Town Council, and a variety of interested parties.

  • The Town of Milton is preparing a Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) to better understand local housing needs. We will collect data to identify preliminary gaps and issues requiring attention.

    Ideally, communities have housing options that meet the range of needs of current and future residents. Needs may vary based on a person’s income or situation, or the type or tenure of housing they seek. People can move along the housing continuum at different points in their lives.

    For a healthy housing continuum, a community needs to understand its existing housing stock, demographics, household structure and size, income levels, population growth, as well as housing supply and demand.

    Your input will help us understand current issues and gaps in local housing, and will inform the Housing Strategy.

    This survey is optional, takes about 15 minutes to complete and is open until January 3, 2025. For questions about the survey or Milton’s Housing Needs Assessment, please contact Development Services.
