Belleville council will decide Monday whether or not to apply for federal government funding to expand the city’s housing supply.
Municipalities that weren’t successful in receiving funding in round one of the Housing Accelerator Fund can apply in round two.
Belleville’s initial application for money was denied.
Staff is recommending council approve an application for $16.8 million which is expected to translate to an extra 460 housing units of various kinds over three years.
One of the stipulations that the city must make is to allow four residential units “as of right” on any urban residential property.
