On Thursday, May 12, 2022 at 10:00 a.m., Community Foundation Grey Bruce will release its Vital Focus on Housing Report at the Harmony Centre in Owen Sound. The public is invited to learn about the findings related to housing in Grey and Bruce Counties that address affordability and accessibility, equity, living standards, and wellbeing.

As part of the launch celebration and media release, attendees will have the opportunity to visit an information fair with tables hosted by various community groups working to address the challenges and opportunities that exist in the local housing market.

The Vital Focus on Housing Report aims to prompt conversation and broaden awareness around issues that our community is facing related to housing. The report integrates local data from various sources and translates it into a readable and accessible format that tells the story about how Grey and Bruce Counties are measuring up. The report highlights stories of innovation and resilience through features on community projects that directly address impacts of the housing crisis.

The full Vital Focus on Housing Report will be available for download on our website after the launch with a supporting data source document also available.
