TO The Legislative Assembly of Ontario: -
WHEREAS 700 affordable TCHC homes are in danger of being sold off to the private
sector;
WHEREAS the sell off will reduce the diversity of neighbourhoods and lead to an
increasingly divided Toronto;
WHEREAS the sell-off will further reduce the inadequate supply of affordable housing
for the 80,000 households already waiting for affordable housing;
WHEREAS the sell-off will require the displacement of thousands of men, women and
children from their homes, schools and communities;
WHEREAS there are a range of other options to deal with the repair shortfall that exists,
including drawing on Infrastructure Ontario loan funds, seeking support from higher
levels of government, investing in retrofits to reduce utility costs, partnering with nonprofit and co-op housing providers;
WE the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows: -
We urge the Minister of Housing not to approve the sale of the TCHC units but
instead to work with the City of Toronto and TCHC to explore more just,
sustainable and economically viable ways to address the repair backlog in TCHC’s
scattered housing stock.
