About the London & Middlesex Housing Stability Action Plan (2026-2031)

The London & Middlesex Housing Stability Action Plan (2026-2031) is a community-wide roadmap that guides how London and Middlesex County will work together to prevent homelessness, increase access to safe and affordable housing, and provide the supports people need to stay housed.

It builds on partnerships across all levels of government and the community to move toward a shared goal of Housing Stability for All.

What’s happening

The City of London is updating its Housing Stability Action Plan for 2026 to 2031, and we want to hear from you. The update will help the City of London and the County of Middlesex develop a shared community Housing Stability Action Plan. It will also provide an opportunity to identify local needs and priorities for the next decade.

Review the draft Housing Stability Action Plan (2026–2031)

Londoners shared their experiences, insights, and ideas on housing and homelessness through surveys, consultation sessions, and targeted outreach as part of phase one of the update of the London & Middlesex Housing Stability Action Plan (2026–2031).

Based on that input, draft strategic areas of focus, strategies, and actions have been developed to guide the community’s efforts. As part of the validation phase, we’re seeking community feedback on the draft strategies and actions included in the plan.

You can review and share your feedback on the draft strategic areas of focus, strategies, and actions by completing the survey below or by attending an upcoming drop-in open house.

Background

Under the Housing Services Act, 2011, Service Managers are required to review their housing stability plans every five years. Local plans must extend for a period of 10 years after the review. The City of London is the Service Manager for London and Middlesex.

Service Managers last reviewed and approved their local plans by December 2019 and were expected to review them again starting in 2024, with submission in May 2026, to meet the requirements under the Housing Services Act.

Therefore, the City of London Housing Stability Action Plan 2019 – 2024 and Middlesex County Homeless Prevention and Housing Plan 2019 – 2024 are both being reviewed through this process. The review will result in one comprehensive plan for the County of Middlesex and the City of London.

The London & Middlesex County Housing Stability Action Plan (2026-2031) will be informed by and is intended to complement the City of London’s Strategic Plan, the Whole of Community System Response, the Hubs Implementation Plan, the Highly Supportive Housing Plan, Ontario’s Homeless Prevention Program, the Government of Canada’s National Housing Strategy, and Reaching Home: Canada’s Homelessness Strategy.

This London & Middlesex County Housing Stability Action Plan (2026-2031) will advance the goal of housing stability for individuals and families in the County of Middlesex and the City of London.
