In Toronto, Community Housing (or non-market housing) refers to social and affordable housing that is owned and/or operated by non-profit housing organizations (including community land trusts), non-profit housing co-operatives ("Co-ops"), and Indigenous housing providers (collectively referred to as “Community Housing Providers”), along with the Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) and the Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation (TSHC). Community Housing is typically developed and operated with publicly funded capital contributions, and ongoing rental subsidies. Furthermore, it is a critical segment of the housing continuum and provides rental housing options for low-and-moderate-income households. In addition to over 57,500 homes provided by Toronto Community Housing Corporation and Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation, there are currently over 200 Community Housing Providers in Toronto that operate over 40,000 subsidized Rent-Geared-To-Income (RGI) and affordable homes. About 75% of this stock was built prior to 1987 utilizing federal and provincial funding programs. Action from all orders of government is urgently needed to preserve and modernize these aging hom…

On June 15 and 16, 2022, City Council approved a pilot project of up to eighteen (18) months for Toronto's first On-Street Logistics Mini-Hub, to further support and investigate last-mile deliveries in combination with electric cargo bike operations. The Mini-Hub, which is a repurposed shipping container, was located within a parking layby on St. George Street within the University of Toronto's downtown campus. The multifunctional structure has been operated by Purolator Incorporated courier company and has served as a redistribution center for the pick-up and drop-off of packages by customers and a storage location for the company's large cargo e-bike delivery fleet. Following the completion of the Mini-Hub's pilot period, which ended in April of this year, Transportation Services is reporting back to City Council to provide information about the outcome of the trial and recommend next steps. Given the findings from the pilot, which are detailed in this report, Transportation Services is seeking City Council's approval to allow the creation of an On-Street Logistics Mini-Hub program that can be rolled out in other areas of the city with other courier companies where locations are…

The tenure of the units includes, market condominium units (307), market co-op units (306) and affordable co-op units (306). The total gross floor area of the proposal is 64,143 square metres, inclusive of 1871 square meters of non-residential uses. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020).

The HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan and Toronto Housing Charter, both adopted in 2019, commit the City to advancing the progressive realization of the right to adequate housing and set a number of strategic priorities related to protecting tenants, preserving affordable housing supply, and realizing a vision of a city where everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home. City Council has recently increased its housing targets under the HousingTO Plan, however, to ensure the City has sufficient affordable rental homes for low- and moderate-income residents, it is also vital to preserve existing affordable rental homes. As a result of factors impacting Toronto's housing market, including low rental vacancy rates, insufficient new rental homes, and the financialization of housing, over the past decade the Toronto region has lost more affordable and mid-range rental homes than have been built. These housing market pressures combined with gaps in provincial rent control requirements have resulted in increased rates of evictions, with disproportionate impacts on low-income and marginalized residents, including those from equity-deserving groups. There have been reports of a growing…

Together, the City of Toronto Act, 2006, and the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, prescribe rules and impose deadlines with respect to filling a vacancy in the office of a member of City Council. This report identifies Council's two options for filling the vacancy in the office of Councillor for Ward 15 - Don Valley West resulting from the passing of Councillor Jaye Robinson. City Council must declare this office vacant at its next meeting on June 26-28, 2024. Then, within 60 days of the office being declared vacant, Council must either fill the vacancy by appointment or pass a by-law requiring that a by-election be held. The person appointed or elected to fill the vacancy will hold office for the remainder of the term, which ends on November 14, 2026.

The City is advancing several initiatives under the Housing Action Plan and the Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods (EHON) initiative to make changes to the City’s Official Plan, Zoning By-law and Urban Design Guidelines to enable more housing in neighbourhoods along major streets and Avenues, in transition zones and in major growth areas. This report proposes amendments to the city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit heights and densities that would enable mid-rise buildings on lands designated Mixed Use Areas in the Official Plan along Avenues. The draft zoning by-law amendment implements urban design performance standards, including updated standards for rear transition and increases height and density permissions. This report also provides an update on the Mid-rise Performance Standards Urban Design Guidelines with respect to rear transition. The As-of-right Zoning for Mid-rise Buildings on Avenues proposal and updates to the Mid-rise Buildings Performance Standards are two of 54 initiatives under the Housing Action Plan. The proposed zoning by-law amendment and update to the Mid-rise Performance Standards Urban Design Guidelines with respect to rear transition…
