A great day for housing affordability! 🎉🏡 

ONPHA was pleased to be invited to attend yesterday’s announcement, which builds on years of hard work and advocacy to position community housing as a key part of the solution to Canada’s housing challenges.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced $2.7 billion in federal investment for Toronto to support 18 housing projects, with 80% expected to be underway by the end of the year.

The setting could not have been more fitting, with the GO Train, a busy transit corridor, and the every day activity of a growing city providing a backdrop to the announcement. 🏙️ It was a powerful reminder that housing growth depends on the infrastructure, partnerships, and people that make communities work. 

It was encouraging to see leaders from multiple levels of government, alongside housing providers, including ONPHA members, united around a shared commitment to building more affordable homes. 🏗️ 

Congratulations to all involved in bringing together multiple initiatives and partners to deliver the scale, collaboration, and speed required to make a meaningful impact on housing affordability.🎉
