Ontario's housing crisis has become increasingly widespread as government investments in affordable housing have declined.

This timeline presents the impact that 50 years of housing policies have had on shaping housing outcomes.

I can't stop thinking about the tragic story of the Ontario woman who chose MAiD because she couldn't afford housing & I just want to say that when people are choosing death because they can't afford housing, it means we are really failing our most vulnerable. We must do better.

Torontonians are struggling to pay rent in an increasingly expensive city, and many low-income residents face the risk of eviction & homelessness. Our new report outlines what @cityoftoronto must do to ensure that everyone has access to an affordable home. https://t.co/Md51I5NrXk

"It's really important to note that the people that live in deepest poverty across Canada did not benefit from federal income support." — @garimatk (@maytree_canada) & @JuliaHowell discuss @TorontoFdn's Vital Signs Report, at 8/11pm with @spaikin | Producer: @carastern #topoli

As Toronto has released its proposal for inclusionary zoning — a system that would allocate between 8 and 22 per cent of new condos in parts of the city to affordable housing by 2030 — new research suggests those amounts could be higher. @TorontoStar https://t.co/fPCGqam4wu

Thanks @CBCNews and @TorontoTenants: "Delaying rooming house legalization across Toronto puts lives at risk, housing advocates warn" https://t.co/0hWfQYfUoR

[Campaign 2000 @Campaign2000]

where is the housing advocate? asks @R2HNetwork: "The stark reality is that two years after the passing of the NHSA legislation and in the face of an anticipated federal election, the position has yet to be filled."

The City committed to uphold the #Right2Housing in its own housing plan, and that includes residents of encampments.

We join hundreds of advocates demanding that @cityoftoronto end forced evictions in encampments & urge the City to take #APathForward ➤ https://t.co/VdCgyALUu2

We were clear at the start of the pandemic: Ontario (and the feds) were going to make terrible housing choices and kill thousands because they weren't even talking to tenants. We were sadly correct. 1/

OPINION | Legalizing rooming houses could stop abuse, writes Bee Lee Soh. @PowerAffordable #ScarbTO #housing https://t.co/OMRNvj0oZz

[VoicesofScarborough @voicesofscarb]

Housing is our basic right, and multi-tenant housing provides affordable homes to many. We urge all city councillors to vote in favour of the city staff report to legalize multi-tenant homes this Thursday. Show that you really care about human rights.
