Under Provincial legislation, every municipality in Ontario must have a 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan, which must be reviewed and updated every five years. Refreshing the 10-Year Plan ensures it remains responsive to current and emerging housing and homelessness needs and sets our highest priorities and goals.
Over the past year, many of you have contributed to shaping our refreshed 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan through your participation in sector engagement activities.
This plan has been co-designed with the Housing and Homelessness Leadership Table (HHLT). Implementing the 10-Year Plan will be guided by the City and the HHLT, who will provide an ongoing advisory function and will work at a systems level with housing and homelessness partners to co-deliver on achieving 10-Year Plan goals. Once the plan has been approved, immediate next steps will include the co-development of the 10-Year Plan workplan and designing an annual review process to ensure the plan remains responsive to community needs over time.
While this 10-Year Plan remains committed to our three main priorities – everyone has a home; people get the support they need; and we work together – there are also meaningful changes that will strengthen our collective efforts for years to come. We invite you to help spread the word by sharing the 10-Year Plan with your Board of Directors, employees, community tables, clients and partners. You can also consider aligning your own strategic plans to the 10-Year Plan. This ensures we are working together as a community to achieve our shared goals.
