Update to the community

At the request of Oxford County Council, the County is sharing an update on the goal to achieve “Housing for all” in our community.

Oxford County, with funding assistance from the City of Woodstock through Ontario’s Building Faster Fund, is in the process of purchasing the property at 808 Dundas Street in Woodstock, the former YMCA building, to establish a new Homelessness Support Centre. The purchase is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks, with the new facility opening in early 2028.

This is good news for our community and a fundamental step toward getting more people the support they need to get off the streets.
