Housing Strategies and Initiatives
Belleville is currently experiencing one of the worst housing shortages in recent memory
The younger generation are struggling to find affordable homes to purchase. That coupled with the shortage of rental supply is having a devastating affect on young individuals, young families and empty nesters looking to downsize and retire.
Real estate investor Signs have been consistently appearing on every corner offering to buy houses and our community mailboxes have been filled with these same repeated offers and to what end.
What is considered by many the Biggest Housing Crisis experienced in this region.
Trade and Worker Shortage
One of the largest complaints with health care, new industry and with the local builders/ construction companies is the lack of skilled workers and skilled trades.
Industry is finding it ever increasingly difficult to find workers, builders are finding it increasingly hard to find skilled trade workers and the health care sectors as having difficulty finding health care workers
Health Care workers are in great demand both in long term care facilities as well as in private home care businesses.
Given the shortage of long term care beds, many families are in need of private home care and are looking to personal support workers(RPN) and Registered Practical Nurses(RPN) to work within private residences. This is adding to the demand for these types of positions.
