Ontario’s municipal elections are just days away, and local leaders have a huge role to play in supporting housing investment.
From streamlining approvals to addressing rising costs and creating greater predictability, municipal decisions directly impact our ability to build and maintain rental housing.
In our latest article for The Trillium, we explore how municipalities can help create the conditions for more housing supply and long-term affordability across Ontario.

RHC met with MP @BradRedekopp to discuss Bill C-287, the Housing Cost Transparency Act. We support the principle of greater transparency in housing cost decisions and appreciated the chance to learn more about the Bill.
Thank you to MP Redekopp for the conversation.
Thank you, @ScottAAitchison, for your years of public service and commitment to thoughtfully advancing a national policy discussion on housing and the importance of rental homes for millions of Canadians.
Your leadership on housing will be missed in Ottawa. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter!

Under Bill 60, the deadline to request a review of an LTB order has been reduced from 30 days to 15 days for orders issued on or after July 1, 2026.
Internal review and decision-making processes should reflect the shorter window.

I was pleased to join Bill Carroll this morning on @CFRAOttawa to discuss Ontario’s upcoming rental rules and what they mean for the Landlord and Tenant Board.
We discussed the importance of continuing to improve the LTB to create a more predictable and effective rental housing system.

Canada needs the right conditions to keep purpose-built rental projects moving. FRPO members are diversifying their supply chains, with many sourcing materials from Canadian suppliers. CEO @TonyIrwin74 spoke with @globeandmail about tariff impact: bit.ly/3SZpC4L

Ontario’s renters have more choice today, but maintaining a balanced rental market means continuing to build for the long term.

Today, I was pleased to join Premier @fordnation, Minister @gregorrobertson, @MayorOliviaChow and caucus and industry colleagues to announce that Toronto is receiving $1.5 billion through the Development Charge Reduction Program in recognition of its commitment to lower development charges and help get more homes built. This will provide over $80,000 in savings on the construction of a new single/semi-detached home.
This investment is another way we are protecting Ontario by making it easier and more affordable to build homes. By reducing costs and increasing housing supply, we are helping more families, seniors, and individuals find a place to call home while building stronger communities across the province.

Canada cannot address its housing shortage without significantly more purpose-built rental housing.
Today, I had the opportunity to appear before the HUMA Committee and speak about how federal programs can better support housing starts and help unlock new rental supply across the country.

Lower costs. More homes.
By reducing building costs and investing in infrastructure, we're helping communities get more housing projects off the ground and making it easier for Canadians to find a place to call home. And we are just getting started.

FRPO welcomes the Municipal Development Charge Reduction Program and commends the important groundwork laid by the Government of Ontario, and the federal government for taking it national.
This is what happens when all levels of government work together to lower barriers, improve project viability, and support more purpose-built rental housing. @RobFlackEML @PBethlenfalvy @MarkJCarney @gregorrobertson @_MarkSutcliffe
