Home ownership remains a strong aspiration for Canadians and a vital contributor to our economy.
November 20, 2025
This collaboration represents a new way forward – linking municipal leadership, non-profit innovation and private-sector participation to expand access to affordable home ownership and strengthen the City’s housing system.
Kick-starting the partnership: Five new affordable homes
As the first step in this new partnership, Habitat HMD and the City of Mississauga are announcing the creation of five deeply affordable home ownership units at Edenshaw’s Alba development, located near the Cooksville GO Station.
To secure these homes, the City identified the opportunity and used a $1.08 million community benefits contribution from Edenshaw to facilitate Habitat HMD’s discounted purchase of the units. Habitat HMD will ensure that these homes remain affordable for the long-term.
Using public-private collaboration to accelerate affordable home ownership
This “first of its kind” partnership for Mississauga will connect non-profit providers like Habitat HMD with community-minded developers who may have unsold market units close to completion. Through this innovative model, more affordable home ownership opportunities can be delivered quickly – without requiring new land or lengthy construction timelines.
Developers or non-profits interested in learning more about this model and supporting the City’s efforts can contact housing@mississauga.ca.
Habitat’s model: Empowering families through affordable home ownership
Habitat HMD’s affordable home ownership model offers a hand up, not a handout. Families benefit from an affordable mortgage tailored to their income, with a secondary mortgage provided by Habitat HMD covering the difference between the discounted purchase price and fair market value, including a buy-back provision to ensure the units stay affordable in perpetuity.
This approach ensures that no family initially allocates more than 30 per cent of their income toward housing costs – enabling them to save, invest in education and plan for the future with greater peace of mind.
Habitat’s model has a proven track record across Canada. After moving into their Habitat homes, families see household incomes rise 28 per cent higher than comparable renters, while health, education, and employment outcomes improve significantly. The result is an estimated $35 million in annual economic uplift compared to renting.
Habitat HMD bridges the gap for families who aspire to home ownership but are hindered by unaffordable market prices. The organization prioritizes families who are willing to contribute 500 volunteer hours in the community, and are currently living in unsafe, unhealthy, or inadequate housing.

Background
This innovative partnership is part of the City’s efforts to make housing more affordable in Mississauga. Despite the ongoing housing market slowdown, the City has made significant strides since the Mayor’s Housing Task Force report was released in January 2025. This includes becoming one of the first municipalities in Ontario to reduce and/or eliminate development charges for residential housing.
Other actions to improve access to affordable housing include:
- The City’s $44 million affordable rental housing incentive program, made possible through federal funding, offers financial incentives to help stimulate the creation of new affordable rental housing. The application window for the second round of funding is open until February 13, 2026.
- The City’s gentle density incentive program is making it less expensive to build additional residential units and fourplexes by providing grants to cover city fees and development charges (if applicable). To date, more than $300,000 in grants have been awarded with an additional $700,000 in grants expected in the coming months. The City also offers pre-approved garden suite design plans that residents can use free of charge.
- Mississauga’s Inclusionary Zoning by-law helps increase affordable housing in the City by requiring affordable housing units in large developments located in major transit station areas.
- The City has lowered costs for those building affordable housing units by reducing and/or eliminating application and parking fees for affordable and non-profit housing providers.
- The City is reviewing opportunities to optimize city-owned facilities to find innovative ways to building housing on city property.

BRAMPTON, Ont. – November 14, 2025. Today, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced approximately $103.5 million in funding for Peel Region through the Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP). This funding will strengthen long-term shelter capacity, continue supports for asylum claimants experiencing homelessness, and enable a future capital acquisition for a dedicated asylum claimant family site.
Peel Region will receive approximately $103.5 million of the $105.6 million requested for the period from January 1, 2025, to March 31, 2027.
Securing 98 per cent of the eligible requested amount reflects recognition of Peel Region’s leadership, innovation, and proven ability to deliver results. This significant federal investment enables Peel Region to purchase and renovate a site to support asylum claimant families, creating a sustainable alternative to costly hotel accommodations.
The Peel Reception Centre has been fully open for 9 months and remains one of Canada’s largest shelters dedicated solely to asylum claimants experiencing homelessness. We will continue stabilizing our family operations, collaborating with the community, and providing wrap around supports that focus on housing and employment supports to asylum claimants as they begin their Canadian journey.

BRAMPTON, ON (November 14, 2025) – Peel Region is pleased to announce $450,878 in annual funding from Ontario Health to support the Behavioural Supports Ontario (BSO) program for the Central West region. This annual funding will expand Long-Term Care (LTC) BSO mobile services across 23 LTC homes, improving support for residents, families, and LTC staff.
In collaboration with system partners, Peel Region, as the BSO Lead Agency for Central West, plays a pivotal role in the design and delivery of coordinated behavioural supports for older adults with, or at risk of, responsive behaviours and personal expressions related to dementia, complex mental health conditions, substance use and other neurological conditions.
In Ontario, 70% of long-term care residents live with dementia; 75% of these individuals will experience behavioural and psychological symptoms associated with this condition. The Ministry of Long-Term Care estimates that 250,000 Ontarians currently live with dementia and that number is expected to increase to 430,000 by 2038.
This funding allows Peel Region, along with other health service providers, to expand and integrate a multidisciplinary BSO mobile team to achieve the following Quintuple Aim outcomes:
- Improved access to care and ability to meet service needs
- Improved quality of care and enhanced staff and caregiver capacity
- Accessible and equitable support across the Central West region
- Decrease in 1:1 staffing needs, emergency department visits, and hospital admissions through enhanced care plans
As the BSO Lead Agency for Central West over the past year, Peel Region has also actively engaged partners to:
- Implement a strategic education and training plan that ensures staff complete core programs and participate in regular cross-sector learning events.
- Design robust performance metrics aligned with provincial data standards supported by simplified data collection, staff training, and automated analysis.
This work aligns with Peel Region’s 2024-2029 Seniors Services Strategic Plan, which includes a strategic goal aimed at facilitating integrated care through purposeful internal and external collaborations, and with Health Services’ vision of Building a Healthier Community Together.
Metrolinx has provided an update on the traffic concerns. The anticipated impacts in Mississauga South, particularly between Indian Valley and the QEW, have now begun. The current lane impacts are related to the road widening work underway in this area. These conditions are expected to continue for approximately three to four weeks, with work anticipated to complete in mid to late December.
Please find attached a general notice for Mississauga South that outlines these impacts in greater detail and may be helpful for residents.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to peel@metrolinx.com. They are available to provide any clarification or support required.
The City’s new materials list shows exactly what’s needed to build a garden suite, helping residents plan and build with confidence.
November 17, 2025
A garden suite is a small, detached unit that can be built in many backyards, city-wide. They include cooking, living, sleeping and washroom facilities. Garden suites are a good option for homeowners who want to downsize, need a separate space for family members or who want a rental unit for extra income.
Build faster with the ready-to-use materials list
The online materials list outlines everything needed to build a garden suite, including construction materials, quantities, specifications (like grade and type), and units of measurement. It’s organized by construction phase, such as foundation, framing, and plumbing, so it’s easy to follow.
The list also highlights which elements are customizable under the City’s pre-approved plans, like doors and flooring and which are fixed. A cost sample is available to help with budget planning, although prices and availability can vary widely depending on site servicing costs and design finishes. The list is downloadable from the “Cost your project” section on the City’s garden suites webpage.
Pre-approved plans and a materials list give homeowners and builders greater confidence when planning garden suite construction timelines. They also help reduce delays by enabling residents to work directly with a licensed builder and skip the design phase.
Gently adding density to Mississauga’s neighbourhoods
Garden suites are a part of the City’s ongoing efforts to make housing more accessible and affordable by encouraging gentle density. Gentle density includes adding more housing choices in existing neighbourhoods and helping to create complete communities where infrastructure is already in place.
Garden suites are a great way to add more housing choices for families, young adults, and seniors, whether to accommodate for extended family or rental income. The City has a Gentle Density Incentive Program that offsets fees to make building these types of homes more affordable.
Learn more and access the plans and material lists on the pre-approved garden suites webpage.
Background
The City is working to increase housing choices in Mississauga neighbourhoods. In late 2023, the City updated its Official Plan and zoning rules to make it easier for homeowners to build up to two additional residential units (ARUs) in addition to the primary home or a fourplex. This includes garden suites, which are small homes that can be built in backyards across the City. In 2024, the City launched free, pre-approved plans for studio or one bedroom garden suites, making it easier and more cost effective for residents.
For more information on how the City is taking action to address the housing crisis, read the 2025 Mayor’s Housing Task Force Report.
