Housing

The Township of Hornepayne is committed to improving the local housing stock and ensuring that sufficient housing is available to support the community's needs and demands.

Hornepayne Housing Corporation (HHC)

The Township has established a Municipal Services Corporation (MSC), under the authority of the Municipal Act, called the Hornepayne Housing Corporation (HHC). The HHC aims to support the delivery of certain housing services to current and future residents, including:

• Enhancing public confidence in maintaining housing units for residents
• Correcting current housing shortages and addressing the lack of diversity along the housing continuum
• Providing more affordable housing options
• Ensuring Hornepayne is prepared to change and grow with the regional economy
• Seeking funding that the Township is otherwise unable to access

What is a Municipal Services Corporation?

A Municipal Services Corporation (MSC) is a corporation whose shares are owned by a municipality, or a municipality and one or more other public sector entities. An MSC can only provide a system, service or thing that the municipality could provide. MSCs are required to receive permission from a municipality to operate in its geographic boundaries.
