According to 2023 numbers from the Ontario Living Wage Network, Owen Sound has the highest housing costs in Ontario outside of the GTA. Families and workers are being priced out – while local employers struggle to fill jobs. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Glassworks Village is a community led solution: a 350-550 home neighbourhood that will be sustainable, walkable. 60% of homes will be reserved for households earning $35K-$85K/year – giving families stability and freeing up rental homes for those who need them most.Â
The project is currently in pre-development, working to bring this vision to life with partners across the region! Your donation today helps fund:
- Affordable Homeownership pre-development work to help launch Owen Sound’s first community-built, sustainable neighbourhood
- Employment Hub and Social Enterprise Centre: a hub that will create jobs, training opportunities, and local economic resilience located on the souther portion of our property
- Administration and Planning Work: essential groundwork and coordination that makes the build possible and our community building activities engaging
Every contribution – big or small – moves us closer to breaking ground and building a community where everyone can thrive! Donate today to help us turn the dream of attainable homeownership, economic development and community resilience into reality!Â
Together we can build Glassworks Village – where sustainability, community and opportunity meet!Â
