Housing is one of the three key priorities identified in the NDG Strategic Plan 2024-2029.

Following the completion of the Strategic Plan and the identification of a series of housing-related actions, we prepared a questionnaire for NDG housing table members, asking them to select priority actions to guide the creation of new subcommittees The Community faced significant challenges, including a lack of social housing, high rents, renovations, and gentrification.
