Mississauga unveils incentives to boost housing supply

The City of Mississauga is offering financial incentives to homeowners to build additional residential units (ARUs) to tackle the housing crisis. These incentives, announced on National Housing Day, include waiving building permit fees and development charges for new fourplex developments. The city seeks to promote "gentle density" and boost housing supply while revitalizing communities. Homeowners can use pre-approved garden suite plans to ease construction, resulting in numerous permit applications.
