“No one is coming to save us.”

In this Letter to the Editor, Marilyn Struthers of the Institute of Southern Georgian Bay’s Social Finance & Affordable Housing Group shares updates on the work her group is doing around housing and affordability — issues that topped one of our recent reader polls.

Owen Sound Current, Tuesday, December 30, 2025.

Struthers outlines how this cross-sector volunteer group has spent the last four years examining what’s gone wrong in our housing system, and what it will take to fix it.

The answer, she argues, lies not in waiting for outside help, but in building local capacity for change — together.

Owen Sound Current is the city’s only independent, locally owned, ad-free news source — in your inbox five days a week.
