Habitat for Humanity Northumberland announced plans to build a seven-unit affordable townhouse complex at 4751 County Road 45 in Baltimore, Ont.
Tuesday, Nov. 22, is National Housing Day, and to mark it, Habitat for Humanity Northumberland unveiled plans to build an affordable townhouse complex in Baltimore, Ont., just outside of Cobourg.
The seven units will be built at 4751 County Road 45, currently a vacant lot, with construction slated to start in spring 2023.
According to Habitat for Humanity Northumberland, this build will be its largest single-development project to date.
“We know this won’t solve the whole problem (of affordable housing) on its own, but we hope this project and other affordable housing projects in our community can alleviate some of the need we’ve been discussing,” Meaghan Macdonald, executive director for Habitat Northumberland, said at a project unveiling event at the site on Tuesday.

“Not only will this be the largest single-development project for Habitat Northumberland, but it’s also the first time Habitat Northumberland is pursuing a net zero development.”
The project is being done in partnership with ZON Engineering, Simple Life Homes and Community Power Northumberland, and is planned to be the largest Habitat net zero development in Canada, according to Macdonald.
In addition to unveiling the 2023 project, Habitat also announced a successful anniversary campaign.
