Burlington Housing Strategy
Burlington’s Housing Strategy was approved by Council in June 2022.
This strategy creates a road map and acts as a guiding document for housing needs in the City of Burlington. It will help the City to work towards meeting the housing needs of the community and move us closer to reaching our Vision for housing in Burlington.
The Housing Strategy identifies 12 recommended actions that the City and other strategic decision-makers can take to increase housing options across the City. It provides a list of priority actions, quick wins and an implementation plan to put the Housing Strategy into action.

The draft Housing Strategy:

- outlines 13 actions which will move the City of Burlington closer to the vision for Housing in the City.
- outlines the implementation plan for the actions based on what can be accomplished in the short, medium and long-term.
City staff will use the feedback from the fourth and last round of engagement to finalize the Housing Strategy which will be presented to the Community Planning, Regulation and Mobility Committee and Council in June.
