Ten-year housing target Text

The number of new homes that municipalities with provincially assigned housing targets need to build in order to meet Ontario’s goal of building more homes faster. Housing targets have been assigned based on current population as well as 2011 to 2021 growth trends.
Total housing progress since 2022 Text

The collective number of new homes that municipalities have built since January 1, 2022. This variable includes:

  • starts, additional residential units (ARUs), long-term care (LTC) beds from 2022-2023.
Target for 2023 Text

Each municipality's 10-year housing target has been broken down into annual targets for each calendar year (January 1 to December 31). Annual targets ramp up until 2026.
Total 2023 housing progress Text

Progress % for 2023 Text

Housing Target Status Text

For municipalities with provincially assigned housing targets, there are four possible housing target statuses:

  • a municipality which has not achieved at least 80% of their annual housing target will have a status of 'not met'
  • a municipality which has achieved at least 80% of their annual housing target will have a status of 'on track '
  • a municipality which has achieved their annual housing target (100%) will have a status of 'met'
  • a municipality which has achieved more than exceeded their annual housing target (+100% or more) will have a status of 'exceeded'

Municipalities without a provincially assigned housing target will have a status of ‘not applicable.’
