Huron County, Ontario – The County of Huron has recently launched a new online Story Map tool designed to help households explore affordable and rent-geared-to-income (RGI) housing options across Huron County.
The interactive tool provides information about affordable and RGI housing locations throughout the County, while also highlighting amenities and features available in each community. Applicants can explore different towns, view housing locations, and learn more about nearby services and amenities to help inform their housing choices.
The Story Map was developed to support applicants in making informed decisions when selecting communities and housing locations. Under the current application process, households are limited to one refusal of a housing offer before their application may be cancelled.
“This tool is intended to give applicants a clearer picture of the different housing options and communities available across Huron County,” said Jayme Koskamp, Housing Services Manager. “By providing information about both housing locations and community amenities, we hope applicants feel better equipped to make choices that fit their needs and circumstances.”
The County reminds residents that all affordable and RGI housing properties currently maintain waitlists, with wait times generally longer in larger communities.
