Council moves ahead with development of Housing Business Plan
La Ronge council has voted to move ahead with the development of a Housing Business Plan.
The decision to do so was made at a regular council meeting on Tuesday. It builds upon a Housing Needs Assessment and Action Plan (Phase 1) created in 2023, which is a document needed to qualify and apply for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s Housing (CMHC) Accelerator Fund program.
A funding application was submitted in August last year and CMHC has since contacted town administration about the application and requested additional information.
The Saskatchewan Housing Corporation (SHC) approved a $15,000 grant for La Ronge and Air Ronge to conduct the joint Housing Needs Assessment. Money remaining from that partnership will go towards funding the Housing Business Plan, which is estimated to cost $15,000.
