Sarnia Affordable Housing Funding

Sarnia city council’s approval to rezone two London Road properties for affordable housing could help address the city’s ongoing housing crisis. Vision ’74 Inc. is waiting for federal and provincial programs to secure the $40 million dollars needed for the 95-unit project. Despite rezoning approval for the site, which backs onto Germain Park, Vision has faced challenges in securing necessary funding, with similar projects stuck in limbo. More than 200 people in Sarnia are chronically homeless, and over 900 are on the waiting list for affordable housing.
