The Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) is Ontario's leading advocate for quality rental housing.

FRPO welcomes the Municipal Development Charge Reduction Program and commends the important groundwork laid by the Government of Ontario, and the federal government for taking it national.

This is what happens when all levels of government work together to lower barriers, improve project viability, and support more purpose-built rental housing. @RobFlackEML @PBethlenfalvy @MarkJCarney @gregorrobertson @_MarkSutcliffe

Hamilton’s higher vacancy rate may offer renters more short-term flexibility, but it does not mean the rental housing challenge is solved. This is a market correction, not the end of the supply gap. Ontario still needs more purpose-built rentals.

Ontario’s $14M+ investment in water infrastructure in Lanark and Frontenac will help protect existing homes and unlock future housing growth. Housing-enabling infrastructure is essential to support more rental development and long-term supply.

Great news for Toronto’s rental supply! Oikoi Living has broken ground on 17 new purpose-built rental units across three infill sites. Gentle density projects like these help add homes in established neighbourhoods faster and without waiting years for rezoning.

Collingwood is opening the door to new affordable rental housing by making town-owned land available through its housing incentive program. Keeping multiple options on the table can help attract more proponents and get more homes built faster for residents.

A slower market is giving some buyers and renters more room to breathe, but long-term stability still comes down to supply. More choice today is positive, yet Ontario still needs more purpose-built rentals and more housing options in complete communities to meet demand over time.

The GTHA condo slowdown is accelerating a major market shift. As more stalled condo projects convert to purpose-built rentals, we have an opportunity to deliver the stable, long-term housing residents need. Now we must keep approvals moving and support more rental construction.

@cityburlington latest Housing Accelerator Fund installment will help keep housing approvals moving and support more starts across the city. By streamlining processes, enabling intensification near GO stations, and supporting affordable rentals, Burlington is taking practical steps to grow supply.

@simcoecounty is moving to offer a 35% property tax discount for new multi-residential rental housing. That kind of incentive can help spark badly needed rental development and create more options for residents. Strong municipal action like this can make a real difference.

Ontario is moving ahead with a major transit-oriented community at @townofoakville GO Station that could deliver more than 6,800 new homes. Building more housing near major transit hubs is a smart supply-side move that supports residents, jobs, and long-term affordability.

Ontario is seeing bold action on housing costs. Cutting development charges, expanding HST relief, and streamlining approvals are the kinds of pro-housing steps needed to help more Ontarians afford a home and keep the next generation in our communities.

@citymississauga is boosting support for affordable rental housing, increasing funding for its Affordable Rental Housing Community Improvement Plan from $44M to $70M. This will help move more than 3,600 rental units forward, including 545 more affordable homes. A strong supply-side step for residents.

Condo-to-rental conversions are proof that purpose-built rental housing is the way forward for Ontario. By prioritizing long-term livability over short-term sales, we can unlock stalled projects and deliver the stable, high-quality homes that residents actually need.

@cityofguelph 50-60 Fife Rd project is gaining major momentum with a fresh $4.5M federal boost! Building on earlier support from the County of Wellington, this 18-unit build is a masterclass in how multi-level funding can deliver deeply affordable rental homes for residents.
