The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) have released their “Housing Supply Report,” providing a detailed analysis of housing supply and affordability across Canada. This report focuses on Canada’s 6 largest Census Metropolitan Areas, including Toronto & Ottawa.
While we remain in the midst of a housing crisis, this report provides encouraging indicators of growth across our country.
Housing starts have struggled to keep up with population growth in some Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs), especially Toronto. This can adversely affect centres such as Toronto and Vancouver, where affordability challenges are significant.
OHBA President Bob Schickedanz provided commentary to the Financial Post on this report: https://financialpost.com/news/economy/supply-is-the-biggest-issue-affecting-housing-affordability-in-canada-cmhc-finds
For additional questions please contact OHBA's Manager of Government Relations, Alex Piccini.
Last week the Green Party of Ontario released their platform for the 2022 provincial election. Contained in the platform is proposed solutions for the housing affordability crisis.
The team at OHBA has created a synopsis of their platform and how it relates to the residential construction industry, which you can view here.
