The Frontenacs must have a diversity of housing types to meet the needs of residents of all income levels. Housing affordability is enhanced by designing homes and developments which address needs and requirements of the entire County.
Vision Statement
The County of Frontenac has a diversity of housing types, tenures, and price ranges to meet the needs of permanent residents at different income levels. Seniors, youth, rural poor and others have options to stay in their communities if they choose, perhaps living in their homes with support services, or in long-term care or transition/assisted living facilities. Housing affordability is enhanced by designing energy efficient buildings that can be adapted over time to accommodate different uses, changes in technology, and demographics. Policies and programs address persistent problems and issues such as "hidden homelessness"; the migration of new/urban residents into the County in search of lower cost housing, but who don't understand the full costs of living in a rural area; and the need for minimum property standards (physical, not housekeeping) that are enforced to support the quality of available housing
