Regional Chair 2 Office of the Chief Planner Corporate Services Department MEMORANDUM To: Regional Chair Emmerson and Members of Regional Council From: Paul Freeman Chief Planner Date: June 23, 2020 Re: Housing Supply Update On June 11, 2020 Committee of the Whole requested additional information on the Status of the Region’s Housing Supply Following the Planning and Economic Development Update presentation and discussion regarding population growth rates and Development Charge collection, staff was requested to report to Council with an update on the status of the Region’s current housing supply. In this regard, attachments to this memorandum include the following information: • Location of Draft Approved units, and Registered unbuilt units by local municipality (with age of draft approval or registration noted) • Breakdown of housing supply units by type (single detached, semi-detached, townhouse and apartment units) • Additional units available to each municipality based on existing water and wastewater infrastructure capacity The Region currently has a housing supply of approximately 26,900 draft approved units and almost 5,000 registered unbuilt units across all nine local municipalities Based on best available data to May 2020, the Region has a housing supply of an estimated 31,833 units, comprised of 4,939 registered unbuilt units, and an additional 26,894 draft approved units; this represents a supply of over 4 years of growth. The data, as outlined in Attachment 1, identifies the supply of all unit types both draft approved and registered unbuilt. All nine local municipalities contribute to this supply as noted in the table included as Attachment 1. The capital expenditures and debt financing costs to service these units have been assumed by the Region but up to $1.58 billion in Development Charges remain outstanding given the planning status. Maps provided in Attachment 2 identify the location of registered and draft approved units for each local municipality and summarize the unit contribution by housing type. Housing supply is fluid with new units coming on line as units are built and sold The Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) has noted when previously reporting housing supply numbers that some units are not available, as they are currently sold. Staff acknowledge this to be the case but note that data regarding availability to the market (i.e. sold or not) is not readily available to staff. Further, housing supply is fluid with new units coming on line as other are consumed by the market. The result, even with servicing delays, has been a relatively consistent supply as is evident by the summary of housing supply reports provided in Figure 1. Figure 1 Housing Supply of Registered and Draft Approved Units 50,000 40,000 30,000 Units 20,000 10,000 0 2016 2018 2019 2020 Ground-Related Apartments Note: 2020 data includes registered unbuilt and draft approved, whereas previous years were based on registered unoccupied and draft approved. Part of the reduction in reported 2020 supply is a result of a modified calculation process to remove built units, however some of those units may not be occupied and/or sold and therefore still contributing to supply; in these instances, Development Changes have been collected as the Building Permit has been issued. To assist the Region in maintaining current housing supply data, we will continue to work with local municipalities to submit their building permit data and advise of local development approvals in a consistent and timely manner.
