Metro Hamilton (Hamilton, Burlington, and Grimsby) is facing a paradox: it needs to double home building to address a housing shortage and accommodate population growth, yet high home prices and rents risks pricing out the workers needed to build those homes.
With an aging population, the region must attract and retain experienced workers to replace those retiring. It will need healthcare workers to care for an aging population and education workers to ensure Hamilton is a viable option for families with children.
