Timmins Council Approves Housing Action Plan

The Timmins City Council has approved a Housing Action Plan to address the city's housing challenges. The plan includes eight city-led actions aimed at improving housing availability and affordability in Timmins. This decision follows recommendations from the Timmins Economic Development Corporation's Community Housing Taskforce report presented last September.

Key factors driving the need for this plan include low vacancy rates, inflationary pressures, affordability issues, and projected growth in the mining and mining service sectors. The plan aims to tackle these barriers and stimulate housing growth in the city.
