Nathan Savelli

Candidate for Councillor Ward 1

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 16 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Housing

Will I be able to afford to live here?

Invest public funds in deeply affordable housing and supportive co-ops on city-owned land.

Scale supportive housing with trusted partners (Good Shepherd, Indwell)
Strengthen Tenant Support Program; fund Hamilton Community Legal Clinic

“It is far more cost-effective and compassionate to keep people housed than to react after they become homeless. We must invest public funds in deeply affordable housing and supportive co-ops on city-owned land.”
