GUELPH, ON, March 12, 2024. - The Rural Ontario Institute (ROI), Western Ontario Wardens Caucus (WOWC), and South Central Ontario Region Economic Development Corporation (SCOR EDC) announce the launch of the Rural Housing Information System (RHIS) to rural Western Ontario municipalities.

The RHIS, originally developed in collaboration with the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus (EOWC), has expanded its reach to include the entirety of rural Western Ontario, in addition to Ontario's South Central Region. This expansion reflects significant inroads towards addressing housing challenges in rural areas. In addition, the RHIS will further expand to include the rural municipalities of Northern Ontario in 2024.
