Thank you to everyone who took part in the @Vote4Housing campaign!
We're ready to work with Ontario's Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and with MPPs from all parties, to enact solutions to Ontario’s affordable housing crisis. chfcanada.coop/vote4housing-…

AND a huge thank you to everyone who took part in the @vote4housing campaign and spoke up for those in need of affordable housing.
Most especially, our partner @ONPHA.
Ontarians agree, everyone benefits if we solve the housing crisis for low-income households. #onpoli

"I'm 29 and can't move out of my parents' place unless I'm willing to spend 65% of income on rent. I have two degrees and a good job yet cannot have decent housing! It's out of control." cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/h…
Today, we tell candidates and leaders that #affordablehousing must be a Day 1 priority ➡️ vote4housing.ca
Tomorrow, we #Vote4Housing.

Please check out @GenSqueeze on housing affordability. Read it all here: gensqueeze.ca/on_votes_2022_…
We're paying particular attention to the section on Non Market Housing.
What about people who do not have a place to live? Helpful piece from @tvo tvo.org/article/where-the-pa…
This isn't affordable or sustainable. And it's not just Toronto facing a crisis.
All Ontarians deserve a safe place to live--without spending every last cent on rent.
It's never been more critical to #Vote4Housing. #onpoli vote4housing.ca thestar.com/news/gta/2022/05…
“What we need is a targeted approach that increases the supply of affordable housing options in particular — that means supporting non-profit organizations, community land trusts, social housing…” - @JoelRexRoberts
@TessKalinowski on supply: thestar.com/business/real_es…
These numbers are shocking but not surprising. We have an #AffordableHousing crisis in Ontario.
Whoever forms the next government must take action on Day 1. Contact party leaders and local candidates ASAP through our tool at vote4housing.ca

NEW: A new poll of renters in Ontario demonstrates the alarming crisis of affordability. Ontario renters are balancing on a knife’s edge to stay housed.
60% of renters in Ontario have had to cut back on food in order to be able to afford their rents.

In a country as rich as Canada, people should not have to choose between eating and paying the rent.
The next provincial government must act immediately to fix the housing crisis.

Over 735,000 households in Ontario can't access an affordable home that isn't in need of major repairs.
We all deserve high quality options when it comes to choosing a home.

Ontario's housing crisis has been decades in the making.
This 50-year timeline shows that, as affordable housing investments dwindled, housing insecurity has grown – especially among the most vulnerable communities.

ALT A timeline which shows 50 years in the making of Ontario's housing crisis. 1970s - the height of affordable housing investments in Canada. 1980s - Cutbacks to government investments in affordable housing begin. 1990s - Government cutbacks to affordable housing become more drastic. 2000s - Responsibility for funding affordable housing is devolved to municipalities. 2010s - The crisis deepens, but housing commitments begin to emerge. 2020s - The housing crisis is worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
