Housing Pledge
Caledon’s Progress Since Housing Pledge (March 21, 2023 to March 13, 2024)
Caledon's Housing Pledge
On March 21, 2023, Town of Caledon Council endorsed a Housing Pledge for Caledon. The pledge outlines how the Town will meets its housing target of 13,000 residential units by 2031 as set by the Province, and the support it will need to achieve it.
The Town of Caledon has made four key requests of the Province to deliver its housing targets:
-
Funding tools for all growth-related (greenfield areas with no services for housing) infrastructure, public amenities.
-
Respect for Caledon’s growth phasing plans and secondary planning processes to help Caledon plan for Caledon.
-
A stop to Ministerial Zoning Orders (MZOs) so Caledon’s pledge is not compromised.
-
Restricting appeals on planning applications that are premature and not supported by the Town.
How does the Town calculate 13,000 new housing units by 2031?
- Units Approved That Have Not Applied for Building Permits as of February 2023: 800 Units
- Active Applications Under Review: 6,700 Units
- Additional Residential Units: 1,900 Units
- Units in Bolton 2031 Approved Urban Area and In and Around the Bolton MTSA: 3,600 Units
