Welcome to the Windsor Essex Community Housing Corporation's Strategic Plan for 2025-2028. As one of the largest landlords in Ontario and the largest in our community, we take pride in our ability to provide safe, affordable, and high-quality housing to over 12,000 residents. Our diverse portfolio of 732 buildings—ranging from high rises and townhomes to detached houses—underscores our commitment to serving the varied needs of our tenants.
The development of this strategic plan was a collaborative effort, with input from our staff, partners, and tenants. Their voices, experience and insights have shaped the direction and priorities outlined in this document and we are thankful for their participation and look forward to working together to fulfill the commitments outlined in this plan.
The housing sector faces significant challenges, including a national housing crisis that is driving an ever-increasing demand for more units, rising costs, and more complex support needs from our tenant population. Our strategic plan is designed to tackle these hurdles head-on, ensuring that we not only meet but exceed the expectations of those we serve. Our objectives include expanding our housing options, enhancing tenant services, and implementing cutting-edge technologies to improve efficiency and accessibility. These goals are ambitious but necessary to meet the growing needs of our community.
As we embark on this journey, our commitment to our tenants remains our guiding star. We are dedicated to maintaining open lines of communication, understanding tenant needs, and adapting our services to enhance their quality of life. Together, we will build stronger supportive communities that people are proud to call home.
