About 100 housing leaders from across Ontario gathered in Toronto on May 11 for the Housing Network of Ontario’s first provincial summit. The group is preparing for the upcoming consultation by the Ontario government to create a province-wide, comprehensive affordable housing plan. More info on the consultation, key resources and a special place to tell your housing stories is available here. The Wellesley Institute is working with a number of provincial and local groups to ensure that Ontario gets a solid and realistic housing plan that ensures everyone has a healthy and affordable home. Here are links to the key presentations at the forum:
