News release: Community input to guide City of Kingston’s 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan

Learning directly from residents with diverse experiences is at the core of the City’s work to review and update the 10-Year Municipal Housing & Homelessness Plan for the City of Kingston and County of Frontenac.

The plan guides how housing and homelessness services are delivered locally and coordinated across the system.

The review, now underway, will help identify current needs, gaps and priorities to inform the updated plan and influence future decision-making.

Kingston-Frontenac residents can participate in several ways:

• A survey, open from April 29 through May 31, provides an opportunity to share insights on current challenges and areas for improvement, successful services, housing types and top community priorities.

• Open houses are scheduled for May 2026, with more details to come on Get Involved Kingston.

• Targeted focus groups will engage people with lived and living experience, Indigenous partners, service providers and community partners to ensure their perspectives are included.

Beam Group will facilitate the community review process and program evaluation.

We encourage residents to register for a webinar on Thursday, May 7 at 6 p.m. to learn more about the process and how community input will influence the updated plan.
