Back to SearchDIEPPE, NB —A housing needs assessment study was presented to Dieppe City Council at its public meeting on October 23, 2023.
Dieppe’s robust growth in recent years has had repercussions on the housing situation.
According to the data cited by the study, between 3,505 and 4,365 housing units will need to be built in Dieppe by 2033 to meet anticipated demand. Demographic growth is expected in most age groups, with the elderly and their households being the hardest hit.
“The purpose of the study is to help the municipality understand the state of the housing market and identify current and future needs,” says Charles-Éric Landry, an urban planner with the City of Dieppe. The study makes 14 recommendations, grouped into three main themes: planning and development, affordability, and non-market housing.
“This comprehensive understanding of the current and future situation enables us to continue work on developing our housing strategy planned for 2024. The strategy should target actions that the City can take to address housing needs and issues effectively,” adds Charles-Éric Landry.
