Affordable Housing

• Simplify Affordable Housing - A clear, simplified definition of affordable housing in Brandon builds the foundation needed to address the issue

• 350 Units of Affordable Housing - The City of Brandon will work toward a goal of 350 new affordable housing units to address the pressing need in the community

• Affordable Housing First Policy - City-owned lands or possibly acquired lands will be considered first for affordable housing uses before anything else

• Inclusionary Bylaw - Investigation and possible implementation of an inclusionary zoning bylaw could result in private developers either constructing or contributing to the construction of affordable housing in Brandon

• Secondary Suite Bylaw – A bylaw that alleviates some of the restrictions currently placed on the construction of secondary suites will encourage safe construction and help take pressure off the affordable housing situation

• Developer/Government Strategy – Engagement of developers will aid in the creation of an updated affordable housing incentive strategy

• Derelict Building Strategy – Having a strong process in place to address non-compliance of building safety and property standards will reduce or eliminate Brandon’s derelict properties

• City Infill Opportunities – Refining the land database to identify infill residential opportunities will help manage those opportunities and should encourage infill development
