Access to affordable housing and ongoing housing stability for all Londoners remains a priority for the City of London.
Access to affordable housing has become increasingly difficult. During these challenging times, the City, in partnership with local service agencies, is asking for the community’s cooperation in helping to identify and provide rental housing options for London’s most vulnerable populations, including individuals experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness and women, whether single or with children, who may be trying to escape violent or dangerous home situations.
“Many of our city’s vulnerable populations are at higher risk during this time and as a community, we need to continue to support all Londoners,” says Mayor Holder. “We are seeking the help from the city’s landlords, developers, builders and all others in identifying affordable housing units available to rent to help meet the immediate needs of our community.”
If you have any rental units currently available and are able to help, please reach out to the City through its Housing Service Division at Housing@london.ca. You can also reach out to Dave Purdy, Manager of Housing Services for the City of London at 519-661-2489 ext. 5596 or via email at dpurdy@london.ca.
The City highlights its commitment to affordable housing and housing stability in its Strategic Plan, Multi-Year Budget, and the Housing Stability for All plan, all of which can be found at London.ca.
