 Housing and Homelessness

Housing is a basic need for everyone and a key requirement for the wealth and health of the overall economy. The current supply of housing options across Peterborough County does not fully respond to the range of needs in the housing market, particularly for low and moderate income households living or working in the area.

To meet the needs of a household, housing must not only be affordable, it must be attainable. Attainable housing is adequate in condition, appropriate in size, affordable, accessible to services, and available.

Learn more about Housing Programs.
