New affordable and supportive housing is one of the ways the City of Toronto is making progress on its HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan’s target of 65,000 new rent-controlled home approvals across the city over 10 years. At least 6,500 of them will be new rent-geared-to-income homes and 18,000 supportive homes with a focus on helping people exit homelessness.
Toronto is home to more than three million people whose diversity and experiences make this great city Canada’s leading economic engine and one of the world’s most diverse and livable cities. As the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto is a global leader in technology, finance, film, music, culture and innovation and climate action, and consistently places at the top of international rankings due to investments championed by its government, residents and businesses.
