Housing in Guelph

Guelph is one of the fastest growing communities in Canada.

As more people move here, we’re working to make housing happen and build infrastructure — like roads, water and wastewater services — to support growth.

Finding the right housing solutions requires all of us to work together. We are working with other levels of government, homebuilders, developers and local agencies to meet Guelph’s housing needs.

Together, we can help everyone find a place to call home.
