Affordable housing aligns the Ministry of Provincial Housing Mandate and the Poverty Reduction Strategy. Social housing and affordable rental housing must be available for individuals and agencies seeking homes for clients. Providing shelter is not acceptable if the occupant is unable to have a healthy living environment and acquire affordable utilities. The emergency shelter, transitional and supportive housing needs versus the current inventory have created barriers restricting access within the communities.

Skilled labour attraction is hampered by residential availability for both the rental and ownership markets. Without housing, industry and new economic growth is impossible. Regions attracting skilled tradespeople in mining, construction, healthcare etc. are compensating with a commuting employee base. However, restrictive transportation options and availability diminishes the commuting employee base. Additionally, training for individuals seeking skills for new jobs is impacted by lack of available housing for both trainees and trainers.

Climate change encompasses energy efficient strategies to new and existing housing to reduce heating and cooling costs. The expense of delivering basic utilities is rising disproportionate to wages, especially in underserviced communities, like Sioux Lookout. New technology and energy sources must be explored, created and expanded responsibly. Housing must be constructed utilizing the most cost effective technologies and requiring the lowest possible maintenance. Consideration must be made for delivery to underpopulated areas. In Northern Ontario, the cost of delivering hydro often exceeds the kw hours of electrical use. At the same time, provincial government constrains municipalities from accessing funding programs and alternate energy sources based on population and consumption, including wood use, solar power and other alternate sources. Land use planning discusses municipal restrictions for housing development and infrastructure development and meeting the cost of infrastructure demands.
