A memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been signed between Bruce County and the Town of Saugeen Shores.
The MOU is to enhance the county’s Municipal Housing Allowance program, and to offer assistance to residents.
Saugeen Shores has committed $75,000 to be used over the next year to help deliver the Saugeen Shores Municipal Housing Allowance under the county’s program
The additional funding will help an additional 10 eligible households in the town.
Last year, the program helps to provide a housing allowance of $590 per month to 27 households in the county.
The housing allowance was initiated in September 2022, and is intended to expand the support that is offered through the County’s Rent Subsidy Programs to additional households.
The additional subsidy from Saugeen Shores completes a major initiative in the Town’s 2023 Business Plan through its Development Service department.
In the plan, the town has been committed to supporting a diversity of housing to meet the community’s needs.
