Housing Community Improvement Plan (CIP)
Housing Community Improvement Plan (CIP)
The City of Sault Ste. Marie is currently developing a Housing Community Improvement Plan (CIP). The Housing CIP is intended to promote the development of affordable and market-rate housing by assisting and stimulating new housing development through the use of financial incentives as authorized by the Planning Act. This draft CIP has been designed to focus housing development within the Strategic Development Areas of the City and to offer higher value incentives to those who build new affordable units and commit to these units remaining affordable for at least 20 years.
Please read and provide input on the draft Housing CIP
The City is encouraging residents and stakeholders to share their views on the draft Housing CIP. Your input is a critical part of this process. A revised version of this draft CIP will be presented to Council in Summer 2024.
Have a look at the proposed Housing Community Improvement Project Area (CIPA)
The Housing CIPA is shown on the following map. The CIPA delineates distinct “Precincts”, or areas where financial incentive programs differ in eligibility or incentive value. Precinct 1 and 2 correspond to the City's Strategic Development Areas, and Precinct 3 represents the remainder of the City's Urban Settlement Area. The rural area of the City is not proposed to be a part of the Housing CIP.
