New Housing Developments and Proposed Projects
York Region works with various partners to develop safe, affordable and stable housing options that meet the needs of residents.
Building community housing fosters inclusive communities, helps prevent homelessness and promotes economic stability by reducing housing costs.
All levels of government must play a role in solving the housing crisis. Significant supply challenges make it impossible for York Region to address housing needs alone. The Region is calling on the federal and provincial governments to provide predictable and long-term funding commitments to:
- Invest in community housing supply to meet growing need
- Protect existing community housing for future generations
- Expand and maintain housing benefits to help more people get housed faster
