Housing and Strong Neighbourhoods

Build Homes and Complete Communities

Brampton needs more housing choices supported by roads, transit, water, schools, parks, health services, emergency response and jobs.

The City’s 2025 Housing Needs Assessment found that approximately 22,925 households were in core housing need in 2021. Renters faced the greatest pressure: about 25.8 per cent of renter households were in core housing need and 26.4 per cent lived in housing considered unsuitable for household size.

The answer is a balanced supply:

  • Detached and semi-detached homes
  • Townhomes
  • Condominiums and apartments
  • Purpose-built rental housing
  • Seniors and accessible housing
  • Mixed-use communities near transit and employment
  • Safe, legal additional residential units

Growth Must Bring Infrastructure

Major development decisions must identify road and transit capacity, schools, parks, emergency response, health and community services, affordability, jobs and who pays. Residents should not wait years for promised facilities.

Safe and Legal Rental Housing

Additional residential units are a major part of Brampton’s housing supply. As of April 30, 2025, the City had registered 26,756 additional residential units. In 2024, these units represented approximately 67.7 per cent of housing starts.

These units provide housing and owner income, but rapid growth has created fire, overcrowding, parking and servicing concerns.

My approach is clear:

  •     Help responsible owners create legal units
  •     Maintain City-wide rental licensing and meaningful inspections
  •     Enforce fire, building, occupancy and property standards
  •     Protect tenants who report unsafe conditions
  •     Act firmly against dangerous or deliberately illegal operations
  •     Coordinate faster when one property generates repeated complaints
  •     Plan parking and waste services where units are concentrated

The goal is safe housing and stable neighbourhoods, not punishment of responsible landlords or multi-generational families.

Faster, Better Housing Decisions

Ready, compliant and serviced projects need clear requirements, early coordination and published timelines. Projects with unresolved servicing, safety or neighbourhood problems should not be rushed to meet a unit target.

Protect Neighbourhood Quality

Housing growth must protect daily life. The City must address dumping, unsafe parking, blocked fire access, property neglect, repeated noise, dangerous occupancy, tree loss and traffic spillover.

Education should come first when someone makes an honest mistake. Repeated or dangerous violations require consequences.

Protect Long-Term Home Value

A Mayor should not promise more expensive housing. My goal is to protect long-term property value through safety, jobs, roads, cleanliness, parks, health care, schools advocacy, services and reputation.

Strong property values should be the result of a strong city—not a political promise to make housing less affordable.
