Raise your voice in Toronto's housing consultation

Apr 25th, 2008 by Michael Shapcott

The City of Toronto is building a 10-year housing strategy called Housing Opportunities Toronto. The city's plan was launched one year after the Wellesley Institute released our Blueprint to End Homelessness in Toronto, which includes both the basic 10-year plan plus a much-more-detailed framework document with lots of background material. We've prepared a number of backgrounders on the HOT proposal, including recommendations to Toronto's 2008 budget process to finance the housing plan.

The City of Toronto has announced a series of public meetings to hear recommendations about the HOT plan. These include:

Wednesday, May 14 – Scarborough Civic Centre, 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Wednesday, May 28 – North York Civic Centre, 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Wednesday, June 4 – Etobicoke Civic Centre, 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Monday, June 16 – Affordable Housing Committee                       
Deputations – 1:30 p.m., City Hall, Committee Room 2
