FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Making Way for New Housing

Delhi, Ontario, September 23, 2024 – The Haldimand Norfolk Housing Corporation (HNHC) is proud to announce a significant step towards addressing the community’s housing needs starting with the demolition of two legacy social housing homes on Gibralter Street in Delhi. These homes, part of HNHC’s portfolio, would require extensive renovations to meet modern housing standards, and their demolition is paving the way for an innovative, transformative housing development project.

The new multi-residential building, set to feature a minimum of 16 units, is designed to support residents with varying income levels. Aligned with HNHC’s commitment to inclusivity and sustainability, the building will offer a mix of Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI), Affordable, and Market rent levels, ensuring a diverse range of affordable housing options for the community. “We are excited to embark on this project that will revitalize the housing landscape in Delhi and contribute to the creation of inclusive, safe, and sustainable communities. This project is about more than just replacing outdated infrastructure; it is about building a stronger future for all residents of Delhi and Norfolk County,” said Matt Bowen, CEO of HNHC.

This project is part of HNHC’s broader regeneration and asset management strategies to revitalize aging housing stock and meet the growing demand for affordable housing.

“As Mayor, improving housing supply and affordability is a top priority of mine; this regeneration strategy will allow us to expand from 2 to 16 units at this location, providing more affordable options for our community. It’s also a crucial step toward addressing the housing challenges we face and ensuring Norfolk remains a place where everyone can find a home,” said Norfolk County Mayor Amy Martin

Sarah Page, General Manager of Health and Social Services, expressed enthusiasm about the ongoing partnership between HNHC and Norfolk County: “We are excited to watch the beginning stages of regeneration and revitalization in housing across Norfolk County. This has taken strong partnerships with HNHC, municipal support, and all teams coming together to make change happen. This new development in Delhi will display the innovative and inclusive path forward to supporting housing across all income spectrums.”

HNHC is dedicated to ensuring that Delhi residents have access to safe, affordable, and quality housing, and the upcoming project is a testament to their ongoing commitment to fostering a community where everyone has a place to call home. The Demolition is scheduled to take place on September 24, 2024.
