Mayoral candidate Mark Sutcliffe is promising to increase the availability of new homes and community housing in Ottawa if elected mayor this fall, unveiling a plan for 100,000 new homes to be built in the capital over the next 10 years.
"We want to keep the dream of homeownership alive in Ottawa," Sutcliffe said Friday morning.
Sutcliffe says the number one priority with his plan is to "keep the dream of homeownership alive for young people" in Ottawa. He says he will use targeted building incentives, zoning changes and city lands to help build affordable housing. "That land, partnering with the private sector and Ottawa Community Housing, we could put up a lot of transit-friendly housing in that area."
