Mississauga is making it easier for residents to get answers to questions about housing, growth and development.
September 19, 2024
- What is city planning: Explains how planning works and why it’s so important
- Guiding city growth: Outlines how the City plans for growth and target where it goes
- How land gets developed: Gives an overview of the development application process
- Development in your neighbourhood: Helps residents find information about proposed development and construction near them
- Ways to get involved: Explains how and when residents can have their say
It also connects residents to resources like maps and data that city planners use to help guide their work.
Housing is also top of mind for many Mississauga residents. They have questions about how neighbourhoods are changing, housing affordability and the City’s role in delivering more housing. The Guide provides:
- An overview of the City’s housing targets
- The City’s role and plans for delivering affordable housing
- Information about how development applications get approved
Education and providing open and transparent access to data is a primary goal in the City’s Housing Action Plan. Visit Growing Mississauga to learn more about the City’s efforts to get more homes built, streamline building approvals and make homes more affordable.
“The work we do in Mississauga’s planning and building division affects everyone who lives, works and visits the City. While planning can be complicated, it doesn’t have to be. That’s why we developed our new Guide to City Planning and Development. From housing targets to deciding where new buildings should go, it’s designed to help answer the questions we hear most from our residents and guide them through the changes they are experiencing.” -Andrew Whittemore, Commissioner, Planning and Building, City of Mississauga

Date of Notice: 27-Aug-24
The plan includes grants for homeowners and developers who want to build affordable units.
July 31, 2024
The aim of the CIP is to help quickly increase Mississauga’s supply of:
- Affordable and below-market rental units in multi-unit buildings
- Gentle density rental units such as basement apartments, garden suites, triplexes and fourplexes in lower density areas
The CIP will be implemented as a grant program. Applications will be accepted starting this fall through 2027 or until the program funding is fully allocated.
Market rents in Mississauga far exceed affordable rent levels for even moderate-income renters. Renter households require a yearly gross income of almost $100,000 to afford a one-bedroom apartment in the city. The City’s CIP will help developers, landowners and homeowners offset some of the costs required to deliver new units at affordable rates.
Mississauga’s CIP was developed in consultation with industry stakeholders whose input was instrumental in helping to shape the program. It is designed to work in tandem with funding sources from other levels of government for new market rental and affordable rental construction. Staff expect that the program will deliver over 300 new affordable rental and gentle density units over three years.
The CIP also sets the stage for two innovative housing solutions that could help to encourage more affordable rental units:
- Tax Increment Equivalent Grants which could be used, with Council approval, to help to offset a portion of the increased property tax associated with the redevelopment of multi-residential units.
- City Land Acquisition program to allow municipally-owned property to be acquired and sold at nominal or below-market rates for affordable housing projects.
The CIP will be funded, in part, through funds received from the federal Housing Accelerator Fund. In December 2023, the Government of Canada and the City of Mississauga announced a $112.9 million agreement to help deliver more homes and improve affordability.
More information about the CIP is available on the City’s website.
Background
A CIP is a tool under the Ontario Planning Act that allows municipalities to provide incentives such as grants and loans to help encourage development.
The focus of this CIP is to increase the supply of rental units affordable for moderate-income renter households earning $54,000 to $96,000 in household income. The CIP is not designed to deliver low-income units. Homes for low-income households are built and operated by the Region of Peel, the City’s municipal housing service manager.
The Affordable Rental Housing CIP is a key action under Growing Mississauga: An Action Plan for New Housing. The action plan identifies steps the City can take to get more homes built, streamline building approvals and make homes more affordable.
Quotes
I am committed to finding ways to get more rental housing built in Mississauga. It’s a key area of focus for our Council, City staff and my Housing Task Force. We must use every tool we have to get more homes built. I encourage every homeowner and developer who wants to build affordable rental units in Mississauga to come forward and take advantage of this incentive program. The time to get building is now! – Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish
This past December, our government reached an agreement with the City of Mississauga to provide nearly $113 million to fast track the construction of more than 35,200 homes over the next decade and support programs for affordable housing in our community. The City of Mississauga has been a supportive partner in this important work, and our collaboration will continue to make housing more affordable for those who need it the most in our city. – The Honourable Rechie Valdez, Minister of Small Business, Member of Parliament for Mississauga-Streetsville
The availability of affordable rental housing is a critical issue in Mississauga and financial incentives are a powerful tool to help stimulate construction. As we developed this program, we listened carefully to our industry partners. To address their feedback, we increased the total amount of grants available per unit. We are hopeful that this will help mitigate some of the financial hurdles developers face when bringing affordable units to market. – Andrew Whittemore, Commissioner, Planning and Building
You’re invited to share your feedback on policies that will help guide the future redevelopment for the Dixie Outlet Mall site.
City staff have refined the draft policies and are seeking comments on the revised Official Plan Amendment. The policies address elements that are needed to create a mixed-use community: parks and natural spaces, transit and transportation options, community infrastructure, housing options, the height and density of new buildings and the amount of retail and commercial space.
Want to continue the conversation?
Community engagement has been an important part of the work to date. Interested in a refresh on the policies? Or do you have any additional thoughts or comments you would like to share with the team? Save the date for our virtual community meeting this fall.
