The Ford government replaced city of Toronto wording stating that developments “will secure” a certain amount of affordable housing before calling the Ontario election.

A report released in January showed that between 2022 and 2024, Ontario’s known homeless population shot up by 25 per cent to 81,515 people.

The $975 million deal includes $325 million apiece from city hall, the province and the federal government, plus an extra $200 million from the feds to match previous city and provincial dollars.

The plan would see sixplexes allowed as a right, a move welcomed by Scarborough North Councillor Jamaal Myers as a way to ‘densify gently and over time.’

Evidence suggests health-care providers are missing opportunities to connect with people in vulnerable moments, Ontario researcher says.

Toronto city hall has been trying to crack open neighbourhoods like Rosedale, which has been long-reserved for single-family homes.

'If they had $10,000, they would not be homeless,' says a prominent homeless sector worker.

Residents in the 80th percentile of incomes would qualify for "attainable" owned homes, if the changes are approved.

The largely commercial strip is being developed by more than a dozen private landowners, making coordination a gargantuan task.

More than seven months after bids opened, only three households were approved for six available homes.
