| Knowles, Steven | Yes | Yes i agree with aiding in more affordable housing. hamilton needs to look outside the box to encourage support from the province and associations. |
| Stewart, Scott | Yes | I'm generally in favour of the City's involvement in affordable housing. My concern has always been how to best address the matter. There are usually multiple factors at play resulting in a family or individual requiring housing that is "affordable". I suggest that there are a great number of groups in Hamilton addressing socioeconomic matters and that these organizations and the City should meet to consider if fewer organizations may be more efficient in their activities and in using City funding. Additionally, as new developments are proposed, there has to be some means either have some # of units designated as "affordable" or some defined portion of development fees put into a distinct fund for the City to then build and manage say apartment and town-home developments distributed among a variety of urban areas of Hamilton. |
