Monumental news! Last evening Council voted in favour of the City of Waterloo entering into negotiations with Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region, as the leader of the BUILD NOW: Waterloo Region initiative to construct affordable and attainable housing on City land. Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region/BUILD NOW: Waterloo Region proposes to build 1,010 homes deemed affordable and attainable! This initiative is in partnership with the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors and aims to harness the best of our community and create something truly transformative. As a proud collaborator, we envision a complete community nestled within a vibrant public realm and natural setting. If successful, the buildings will be designed for low life cycle energy costs across a diverse mix of typologies, from three-storey stacked towns to nine-storey midrise buildings, providing studio, one, two, three, and four-bedroom family-friendly units. We look forward to the potential to continue working with Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region, BUILD NOW: Waterloo Region, and our fellow consultant teams on this exciting and important development to address the affordable housing crisis, as well as the City of Waterloo staff. renderings: @officeiso
