Affordable Housing

A safe and affordable place to live is every city resident’s right, but it is increasingly hard to ensure. Over 260,000 households in the GTA spend more than a third of their income on housing. And in the City of Toronto tens of thousands require emergency shelter. Too many families struggle to pay high rent.
