Ford government has no idea how to get homes built

November 13, 2024

QUEEN'S PARK — Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner released the following statement in response to news that the Ford government has not yet defined the term “attainable housing” despite selecting demonstration sites to pilot the concept in 2023.

“This government has no idea how to get homes built. They can’t even agree on a definition of the kind of homes they want to build.

The Premier has had six years to start building homes and he has repeatedly failed. Meanwhile, mortgages and rents are still skyrocketing, homelessness is increasing, and cost of living keeps getting worse.

Greens have a plan to fix the housing crisis by building more homes in existing neighbourhoods, strengthening protections for renters and investing in deeply affordable housing. We’re calling on the Premier to either take action or get out of the way.”
