Tracking housing supply progress
Find out how many new homes have been started toward Ontario’s housing goals.
About the housing tracker
Ontario has set a goal of building at least 1.5 million homes by 2031 and has assigned the province’s 50 largest municipalities with housing targets to help meet this goal. The province is encouraging municipalities to meet their targets through the creation of the $1.2 billion Building Faster Fund, which rewards municipalities that reach at least 80% of their annual target with funding, with bonus funding for municipalities that exceed their targets. Ten per cent of the fund has been reserved for small, rural and northern municipalities that have not been assigned a housing target.
This tracker compares the following data against housing targets for 2031:
- yearly new home construction starts in municipalities
- additional residential units (ARUs), which includes non-residential space that is converted to residential units and residential to residential conversions
- new and upgraded beds in long-term care homes
This tracker relies on monthly housing starts and ARUs data provided by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation as well as long-term care bed data from the Ministry of Long-Term Care. Ontario has supported the creation of ARUs, which help increase density in existing neighbourhoods, through a variety of measures, including the removal of development-related fees from ARUs. Ontario is also building and redeveloping more than 58,000 long-term care beds by 2028 to provide the modern, safe and comfortable homes our seniors deserve.
