Government housing policy promises affordable,
accessible housing for Ontarians
An integral component of the Government's reform agenda has
been to provide affordable, acce :sible and adequate housing for the
people of Ontario. It is essentiE i to Ontario's economic and social
well-being that a sufficient supp' i of housing be available to address
the needs of the full range of households across the Province.
To achieve housing objectives, Housing Minister Chaviva Hosek
recently announced the Government's new Housing Police Statement
in the legislature. The Policy Statement set a firm course for the fu-
ture of land use planning in Ontario.
The Government has taken several measures to create housing, in-
cluding the funding of 55,000 non-profit units, as well as making
government lands available for housing as a first priority.
These measures are being augmented by a new focus on the land
use planning process.
The Government's new Housing Policy Statement deals with the
following issues which can be addressed through land use regulation:
Supplying Land for Residential Development - municipalities are
required to designate in their official plans a 10 -year supply of land
for residential development.
-municipalities will also have on hand at all times a three-year
supply of lots at the draft approved or registered stage.
Land Use standards regulating range of housing types - official
plans and zoning will be revised tJ provide for a wide range of hous-
ing forms and types, and this wi 1 be integrated throughout the com-
munity.
- this housing must address th' .•ull spectrum of needs for all Onta-
rio's citizens.
- an overall component of 25 percent is to be geared to moderate
,and low-income families and individuals, at appropriate densities and
sizes.
Land Use Planning Approval Process Simplified
- the land use planning process will be streamlined. ,
- municipalities will be required to process applications for the de-
velopment of housing as quickly as possible.
Using Existing Building Stock More Effectively
- better use will be made of existing buildings and established areas
to create additional units.
-- official plans and zoning b_yjaws will permit self-contained units
in single-family homes. ,
The provisions of 'the Government's Housing Policy Statement
will be fully implemented as soon as possible in areas where growth
pressures are greatest. These areas include: Metropolitan Toronto,
Durham, York, Peel, Halton, Hamilton -Wentworth, Ottawa -
Carleton, Niagara and Waterloo: the municipalities within these re-
gions; and all municipalities wit r:n the census metropolitan areas of
London, Toronto and Windsor.
In most municipalities, the Pol'. y Statement will be fully imple-
mented over the course of the next five years as official plans are
routinely updated. Townships -and villages with •populations of less
than 5,000 may use alternative approaches to reflect the principles
and fulfill the objectives of the Policy Statement.
The land use planning process is an important element of the over-
all response to changing housing needs --it must help to advance pro-
vincial housing objectives, rather than impede them.
Grants to riding
Minister for Disabled Persons Remo Mancini has recently advised
me that Egmondville United Church in Seaforth will be receiving a
grant from the Access Fund in the amount of $50,000.
The church had applied for the funding in order to assist them in
making additions and alterations to the existing building which will
provide for easier access. The project will include addition of a lift
and handicapped washroom, stair renovations, addition of a ramped
sidewalk, and parking space.
The Huron County Library Board has recently been the recipient of
a $2,200 grant from the Minister of Culture and Communications to
assist with the purchase of video cassettes for the library.
