Background
A public meeting on the Municipal Housing Strategy was held at the end of March, 2011, and a Your Opinion comment opportunity on the Strategy Phase 2 Report's identified housing needs and proposed recommendations ran until April 4.
In the fall of 2010, two sets of consultation sessions were held — one in October and one in November — to gather feedback from the Kingston and Frontenac County communities on their ideas, options, strategies and solutions for addressing local housing needs.
