What is Ottawa's plan for housing and homelessness?

The City’s first 10-Year Plan was released in 2014 and it was updated in 2020. The current 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan (2020–2030) guides the City's efforts to address local housing and homelessness needs. The infographic below provides an overview of current goals and objectives.

In 2025, the 10-Year Plan is being refreshed to respond to changes in our housing market and residents’ needs.

Did you know that every year, the City reports on progress made towards achieving 10-Year Plan targets? The 2023 Progress Report on the 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan highlighted key outcomes including:

• 700 new affordable housing options for low- to moderate-income households created
