The Citizen Dashboard is being converted into an Open Data format, linking the Citizen Dashboard with Open Hamilton. During this conversion, the data on the Citizen Dashboard will not be updated quarterly, resulting in some data being out of date. The conversion is expected to be completed in September 2019.
Targets have been set for new affordable housing builds as part of the City of Hamilton’s Housing and Homelessness Action Plan.
In 2017, 102 new affordable rental units were approved. These developments all support achievement of the goals set out in the City of Hamilton’s Housing and Homelessness Action Plan.
New affordable rental development is generally reliant on investment from the City of Hamilton and upper levels of government of up to $200,000 per unit. The ability to continue to build new housing units is reliant on continued funding.
