designation Halton Hills councillors are ob jecting to a Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation policy which they say makes it difficult to build affordable housing in town The town decided Monday to ask the to include Hills in the more expensive housing cost Tier I market rather than the Tier market it is currently plac ed in The which helps fund af fordable housing projects has set up a maximum unit- price system That means for example a 10unit affordable housing pro ject with a of for a one bedroom apartment must be con structed for a cost of or risk losing CMHC financing Southern Ontario is divided up into two tiers Tier generally municipalities which border directly with Toronto includes Peel Region the towns of Vaughan and Markham the town of Ajax and part of Pickering Halton Hills along with the rest of Halton is lumped in with part of Richmond Hill Aurora Newmarket Whitby Oshawa Caledon Newcastle and the Districts of Haliburton and Muskoka among others The MUPs for the Tier I projects are about per cent higher than the Tier for a one bedroom apartment That in sinuates that housing prices are more expensive in areas like Brampton which is in Tier I than in Halton Hills is in Tier II councillors say Because the Tier prices are unrealistically low few builders will be encouraged to build af fordable homes in those areas councillors say Coun Marilyn Serjeantson Is angry that the Tier I areas were granted a 15percent increase in their MUPs for 1989 while Tier members were given a increase The system is unfair because bousing prices in Halton Hills are at least as expensive as Brampton Coun Serjeantson said Lantana Homes Corp the group building a cooperative on Road in Georgetown said the problem is compounded in Halton Hills because Toronto businesses perceive a labor shortage problem here Recently a real estate agent looking for land for a Toronto firm looking to expand acknowledged the availability of good Industrial land in Acton but he said the perception is that there is an in sufficient labor pool here said Lantana spokesman Adam Czerechowicz I believe the supply of af fordable housing along with local transportation would go a long way
