What is a Housing Needs Assessment (HNA)?

Housing Needs Assessments look at the state of housing in a City, the population and housing demand forecasts for the future, and identify the key challenges of housing affordability in a community. Housing Needs Assessments are an opportunity to gather and analyze information, identifying gaps and challenges. These studies work with government, service agencies, developers, real estate professionals and members of the community to illuminate the varied and complex situation of housing needs.

The City’s last Housing Needs Assessment was completed in 2021 and provided the foundation for the Affordable Housing Strategy. Since the adoption of the Fredericton Affordable Housing Strategy in 2022, the City of Fredericton has taken on several initiatives to take action to address the housing crisis, along with other levels of government. The timeline below gives a brief overview of the City’s initiatives since the 2021 Housing Needs Assessment.

We want to hear from you

Story Wall

The purpose of this story wall is to provide space for people to share their own experiences with housing to inform the Housing Needs Assessment - good stories, struggles and reflections. Housing is different for everyone. Please speak from your own experience and be curious as you read the stories of others.

Tell your story! What’s your housing situation like?

If you want to share your story, but don’t wish to share it publicly, you can email us at consultation@uplandstudio.ca
