The City has approved numerous updates to its Official Plan and Zoning By-law since 2018 to permit more low-rise housing in residential neighbourhoods to meet the needs of a growing city. Many of these new land use permissions have advanced through the the City’s Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods (“EHON”) initiative. These low-rise housing forms, sometimes referred to as the “missing middle”, can range from garden suites to small-scale apartment buildings on major streets. All these housing types can be found in Toronto today and historically have been located within our traditional neighbourhoods, but more recently in our City’s history they have been limited in where they are allowed to be built. City Planning’s recent Neighbourhood Intensification Research Bulletin examines the potential for new housing units in Toronto’s Neighbourhoods, as a result of the various EHON initiatives. The Bulletin's findings highlight that as a component of Toronto’s Housing Action Plan (HAP) and Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) commitments, EHON initiatives could contribute approximately 54,600 units or almost one-fifth (19 percent) of…

Toronto residents across a range of incomes are facing an unaffordable housing market decades in the making, with over 10,000 residents experiencing homelessness, over 100,000 households waiting for a rent-geared-to-income (RGI) home, and low- and middle-income households struggling to afford their homes amidst the rising cost of living in the city. In a dynamic housing market, where housing starts are at a historic low, it is more important than ever to ensure housing projects that include affordable housing outcomes are supported to move from pre-development to construction and occupancy. There are currently over 230 active affordable housing projects in the City’s housing pipeline that have been approved for financial incentives (including relief from development fees, charges and property taxes) indicating the City’s strong commitment to reduce costs, remove barriers, and expedite approvals for affordable housing. However, due to difficult market conditions and limited funding from other orders of government, only 43 of these projects are currently under construction. Since 2023, the City has taken a number of unprecedented actions across the housing continuum to s…

Toronto is facing an unprecedented housing affordability crisis that spans the entire housing continuum—from emergency shelters to market rental and ownership housing. The need for new rent-controlled, affordable, and rent-geared-to-income (RGI) homes is urgent and growing. In response, the City of Toronto has taken bold and transformative steps to reshape its housing system and accelerate the delivery of much-needed homes. To meet the complex and evolving housing needs of its residents, the City is adopting a more proactive and hands-on approach to housing development. Structural and policy innovations—such as the establishment of the Housing Development Office and the implementation of the Toronto Builds Policy Framework—are pivotal to this strategy. These initiatives are designed to streamline processes, align resources, and facilitate the timely development of housing on land owned by the City and its agencies and corporations. This report responds to City Council direction from EX19.1 and PH21.4 and provides an update on the new housing delivery model to implement the Toronto Builds Policy Framework. Specifically, it outlines the Housing Delivery Governance…

Too many Torontonians live in homes that have pests, mold, appliances that don’t work, and inadequate heat. That’s why it’s time to move forward with colour-coded RentSafe signs that will compel landlords to keep apartments clean, safe, and healthy. This apartment rating system, based on the City’s successful DineSafe program, will require landlords to post a colour-coded RentSafeTO sign displaying the City's rating in a prominent, public location on the building, along with posting the same information to the City's website. Apartments would have a red sign for serious health and safety violations, yellow for more minor infractions, and green for buildings that are in good repair. Landlords and others have claimed that a red sign would “stigmatize” people in apartment buildings, but tenants have repeatedly told Council that mold and cockroaches are stigmatizing, not a sign. In fact, a 2020 survey conducted by the City found that 81 percent of respondents agreed with implementing the sign program. Importantly, ACORN, the Federation of Metro Tenant Associations, York South Weston Tenants Union, NoDemovictions and tenant associations across the ci…
