Simcoe County is about to develop targets for new affordable housing units to be built over the next ten years.
The county has exceeded its original target set a decade ago.
At the time, officials had hoped to add just under 2700 units by the end of 2024.
But 32 hundred units have come on stream since then, and there several projects under way to add more.
Warden Basil Clarke says a new ten-year plan will be announced in the coming months which will be even stronger and bolder than the previous one.
The housing strategy is funded by the provincial and federal governments as well as local taxpayers in Simcoe County, Barrie and Orillia.
