Update provided on Housing Accelerator and CIP and HAF

The draft Community Improvement Plan (CIP) represents a significant step toward advancing the City’s housing, downtown revitalization, and brownfield redevelopment objectives in alignment with Belleville’s Housing Action Plan and the Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) agreement. The proposed programs have been developed through detailed analysis, public and stakeholder engagement, and consultant expertise to ensure they are responsive to Belleville’s current and emerging needs. At this stage, the draft CIP Update is being presented for Council’s information to provide an overview of the proposed framework, funding approach, and next steps. Following review by the Finance Committee, a final report and recommended CIP will be brought forward to Council for consideration and adoption.
