Affordable Housing in South Frontenac

Community Needs Assessment

With an aging and diversifying population, affordable housing has become a growing priority in the Township of South Frontenac. 

In order to further understand the needs of this community, the Township is asking those who may be in search of housing now or in the future, to complete the survey below. This information will inform the Township as it undertakes or promotes new affordable housing projects within the community. 

Your responses to the following questions should only take 6-8 minutes and will provide us with valuable insight in determining the housing needs of this community. Rest assured, your answers will remain completely anonymous and confidential.
