July 9, 2026 Housing Advisory Board

The July 9, 2026 meeting of the miOttawa Housing Advisory Board focused primarily on updates regarding housing development projects and strategic planning efforts within the county. Key procurement-related discussions included the status of a $10 million revolving loan fund managed by IFF, which supports housing developers, with plans for a developer listening session by July 31 to assess the fund's impact and potential improvements. The board also discussed upcoming Requests for Proposals (RFPs) related to county-owned parcels, aiming to derisk sites through preliminary planning and facilitate quicker development approvals. Additionally, the board reviewed data tracking efforts for housing projects, including unit types, financing sources, and approval timelines, with an emphasis on improving transparency and community engagement. No formal votes or contract awards were recorded during this meeting, but several action items were noted to advance housing initiatives and developer collaboration.
