Homes for different lives
Studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and approximately 30 three-bedroom homes for individuals and families.
Housing people can build a life around
Approximately 160 new homes.
Publicly owned. Mixed-income. Mixed-generation. Planned to break ground in 2027.
The policy
Housing that feels like a community.
Good public housing should be housing people are proud to call home.
My plan would create the Charlottetown Housing Authority to build a publicly owned, mixed-income and mixed-generation community of approximately 160 homes. The goal is a Vienna-type social mixture: different ages, incomes and family sizes living together, not an institution separated from the city around it.
“A mixture of ages, incomes and family sizes creates a community, not an institution.”
A complete community
Room for families. Choice for seniors.
Accessible by design
At least 20 accessible or adaptable homes, planned into the project from the beginning.
Daycare downstairs
A ground-floor daycare with 60 to 80 spaces that supports families and makes daily life easier.
A real social mix
Homes for seniors, families and workers, with affordable, workforce and market rents in one community.
Public ownership
Land and homes kept in public hands so long-term value serves Charlottetown residents.
Revenue stays in housing
Rental revenue is reinvested in maintenance, services and the next generation of public homes.

Mixed-income public housing
A durable public asset.
The project combines affordable, workforce and market rents. Public ownership keeps the land and homes working for Charlottetown over the long term, while rental revenue supports maintenance, resident services and future housing.
- ✓ Affordable, workforce and market rents together
- ✓ Larger homes for families and senior-adjacent options
- ✓ High-quality shared spaces and professional management
Protecting the public interest
The plan is public. The site is not yet.
The exact location will be announced after the necessary land agreements are secured. Publishing it early could invite speculation, raise costs and weaken the taxpayer’s negotiating position.
Responsible confidentiality is part of responsible procurement. Residents will receive the full site plan when the public interest is protected.
The commitment
Break ground in 2027.
Approximately 160 homes, a built-in daycare and a genuinely mixed community, kept in public ownership for the long term.
