Finding and securing affordable housing in Toronto is becoming more challenging each year for students, faculty, and staff at our academic institutions.
To help understand the current needs of Toronto students, faculty and staff and develop meaningful solutions, the City is developing an Academic Housing Strategy. It’s part of the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan and the Housing Action Plan (2022-2026).
We are looking for your ideas and priorities to ensure everyone studying and working in our city’s academic institutions has access to safe and affordable housing options that meet their needs.
The survey will take between 7 to 10 minutes to complete.
Consultation in a Box is a self-guided small group discussion guide with everything you’ll need to host and help shape the future of academic housing in Toronto. Find instructions on how to get your own Consultation in a Box and how to use it:
