This Affordable Housing Strategy responds to the Housing Needs Report, which identified four groups as having the least choice in Nelson's housing market:

1. Households with special needs, including mental health, addictions and /
or physical difficulties;

2. Low and moderate income households who require safe, suitable and
affordable rental housing, primarily in the private market;

3. Moderate income households who aspire to homeownership without
relocating from Nelson and area; and
 

4. Elderly seniors on low fixed income who have supportive care needs.
