Woolwich Township has successfully completed the first annual reporting period for the Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) and has received the second installment of $1,681,185.55 from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).

This funding supports key housing initiatives aimed at increasing the supply of housing in Woolwich, including simplifying the approval process for accessory dwelling units, developing mixed-use design guidelines, and facilitating affordable housing projects through expedited review and dedicated support for community housing developers.

In the first year, and of the 10 initiatives underway, the Township completed four initiatives and is nearing completion on three others. Although total unit targets were lower than expected for the year, projections indicate an increase this year, with the potential to not only meet but exceed overall targets.

The Township appreciates the continued contributions of all stakeholders and remains committed to advancing these initiatives, supporting housing development, and working towards the second annual HAF reporting period in March 2026.
