The housing crisis can be seen across Huron County. A problem that big is going to require creative solutions; and those solutions will look different across the community.
Take a look below at some of the ways Huron County's private sector is adapting to the new demands of our growing population.
Overview
Dashwood
Phillip and Teresa Van Raay in Dashwood had a set of seemingly conflicting goals. A multigenerational property, with the ability to comfortably house their parents, their kids, and themselves. Plus, the space to store and maintain all the equipment required to keep the farm running. Enter the “Shouse” (Shed + House).
Seaforth
It’s difficult to attract young talent without appropriate, attainable options for housing them. One way to do that is rehabilitating existing, large single unit houses into new, multiple smaller units, like in Seaforth. Check out the video below to see how an old, rundown property was revitalized into a gorgeous fourplex, perfect for smaller families.
Goderich
Some properties in Goderich were originally built to accommodate massive families on huge lots. Over the years, families have gotten smaller, but the lots remain. Through infilling, historic properties like the one in this video are able to accommodate multiple units, ensuring several families have new homes to build their lives in.
Wingham
When planning new constructions, building out isn't always the best solution. Breaching the Wingham skyline, a new development is in the works. By maximizing the available land and building up, this apartment building will provide numerous homes for people and families that need them in North Huron.
