SPOTLIGHT ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Windsor Essex CHC through the Central Housing Registry Windsor-Essex County
provides the centralized wait list function for the Service Manager.
In 2017, our wait list increased to 4,435 households a 31% increase from 2016.
Factors like the applicants’ choice of location, number of bedrooms required,
and the active number of households on the centralized wait list will impact the
length of time it takes for an applicant to move off the wait list and into safe,
affordable housing in Windsor Essex. Unfortunatley wait times can be lengthy as
the need for housing outweighs the availability of affordable housing in Windsor
Essex County.
