N/A --- ### Section 7: OTHER INFORMATION Source pages: 45–51 ## Section 7: OTHER INFORMATION Provide any other information not presented above that may be relevant to the municipality’s effort and progress toward achieving the housing target. Funding from senior levels of government is essential in advancing the construction of affordable housing in Langford. The City has twice submitted applications to the federal Housing Accelerator Fund for grant funding, neither of which was successful. The City intended to use a portion of these funds to purchase land to create opportunities for partnerships with non-profit housing providers, as there are very limited opportunities on land currently owned by the City. With that funding not approved, the M’Akola Housing Society Indigenous Housing Fund no longer available, and the Community Housing Fund suspended, the City expects that it’s unlikely any significant progress can be made towards the affordable housing component of the Housing Target Order Guideline in the foreseeable future. --- ### Section 8: SUMMARY OF PLANNED ACTIONS TO MEET TARGETS Source pages: 45–51 ## Section 8: SUMMARY OF PLANNED ACTIONS TO MEET TARGETS If the housing target has not been met for the reporting period, please provide a summary of planned and future actions in line with the Performance Indicators that the municipality intends to take to meet housing targets during the two-year period following this report.
