\u0022We\u0027re going to do our part, we\u0027re going to pledge, and we\u0027re going to follow through on creating the conditions to building more housing in Ottawa.\u0022
“While the details have not been made available, a well thought out municipal housing pledge will position the City of Ottawa to seek any available funding,” staff explained in a report for committee and council. They also recommended against declining to endorse a pledge “as the goal of building more homes is shared by the city.”
“When I look at the list, these are actions that the city has already determined and that council has already determined it wants to undertake, for the most part,” Leiper said.Article content The city issued 12,600 building permits in 2022, the most ever, and there are indicators that residential construction is slowing down.
Kanata North Coun. Cathy Curry pointed out that in her ward alone, 5,100 units were approved last year. But what she’s hearing is that whether they will actually be built, “based on interest rates and construction challenges and all the rest of it, is a totally different story.” As far as concerns about being unable to get there, Fu told councillors the pledge “does not identify specifically that the target shall be achieved,” and it could be interpreted that “if municipalities identify the actions that they pledge to do, for their role in the housing market, and able to show some measure of success in that, then their pledge has been fulfilled.”
While he had his own questions about the achievability of the housing target, Leiper stated Monday that he believed the city was still setting itself up for success, and taking on minimal risk, by making the housing pledge.
