City of Hamilton Housing Needs Assessment Resident Survey

The City of Hamilton is currently undertaking a Housing Needs Assessment to assess the City’s current and projected housing needs and is seeking your input! Through this survey, developed by SHS Consulting, our goal is to better understand the housing needs and challenges faced by residents throughout Hamilton.

The purpose of a Housing Needs Assessment is to explore current and future housing need, demand, supply and affordability, and provide insight into the key drivers behind the housing markets within Hamilton communities. The needs across the entire housing continuum, both market and non-market housing, will be assessed.
Purpose

By participating in this survey, you are contributing to a comprehensive assessment of housing barriers in your community in Hamilton, allowing the City to develop a clearer understanding of what is needed to ensure all Hamiltonians have access to safe, quality housing.

This survey should take approximately 5-7 minutes to complete, and the questions are optional.

Paper copies of the survey are available at any of the five community pop-up events happening the first and second week of September, or you can request a copy by emailing: housing.secretariat@hamilton.ca. For more details on the community pop-ups, visit: www.Engage.Hamilton.ca/HousingNeedsHSIR.

We're collecting information as part of this project:

The City of Hamilton collects information under the authority of Section 227 of the Municipal Act, 2001. Any personal information collected for the Housing Secretariat Division Housing Resident Survey will be used to inform the City of Hamilton Housing Secretariat Division on the community's understanding of the types of housing options available in Hamilton and which aspects people feel require more focus, attention and resources to meet the unique housing needs of Hamiltonians.

For more information about the Housing Secretariat, please visit www.hamilton.ca/housingsecretariat.
