Housing and homelessness

How should the city approach the provision of affordable housing?

Context:

The Affordable Housing Investment Plan aims to build 2,500 units of affordable housing and 600 units of supportive housing by 2022 at an estimated cost of about $500 million, funded by all three orders of government. As of May 2021, the city was about halfway to its goal. Earlier this year the city was denied federal funding to build more housing units due to a lack of provincial funding to operate them.
