Thank
you
and
now
item
my
2.1
planning
and
Housing
Committee
2019
overview.
C
But
we
thought
it
was
important
to
start
off
with
this
new
committee
in
this
new
mandate
and
new
governance
structure,
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
committee
overview,
the
divisions
that
support
this
committee
and
what
we
expect
you
that
you
will
be
seeing
in
2019,
both
myself
and
deputy,
seem
an
urgent
deputy
city
manager.
Juliana
Carboni
will
walk
us
through
we'll
walk
through
this
presentation
this
morning.
C
So
just
starting
with
the
committee
overview
reviewing
the
mandate
where
the
primary
focuses
on
urban
farm
and
housing
development,
a
mandate
to
monitor,
make
recommendations
to
planning
property
standards,
growth
and
housing
development.
So
when
we
look
at
that
larger
scale
mandate,
some
of
the
items
that
you
can
expect
to
see
come
from
our
City
Planning
Division
with
official
plan
review
items
other
with
citywide
policy
and
zoning
related
matters
from
the
affordable
housing
office
in
dealing
with
obviously
affordable
housing
and
housing
policies.
Development
opportunities,
as
we've
seen
recently,
with
the
housing.
C
Some
of
the
key
achievements
for
2018,
though
we
discussed
a
little
bit
through
the
budget
presentation,
are
the
significant
number
of
built
city
building
studies
that
this
division
is
undertaken.
Teok
or
Donnell's
crossing
dominoes,
crossing
you're
gonna
see
a
little
bit
later
this
year,
Midtown
and
focus
and
many
others.
Certainly
you
can
see
by
the
volume
of
Community,
Planning
applications
and
committee
of
adjustment
applications
and
referencing
your
your
work,
their
debate,
deputy
mayor
by
Lao
with
the
L
Pat.
C
C
It's
very
very
quickly
we're
giving
you
a
snapshot
of
what
the
development
review
applications
process
looks
like
at
least
as
far
as
the
volume
received
I
think
some
some
are
showing
pretty
steady,
steady
submissions,
some
with
some
spike
in
some
otherwise,
some
of
the
more
complicated
being
official
plan
amendments
or
zoning
bylaw.
Amendment
reviews
present
the
greater
complexity
of
the
work
that
the
division
does,
but
certainly
I
think
this
you
can
get
a
sense
of
the
volume
of
work
they
see
in
that
respect.
C
That
flows
through
on
the
committee
of
adjustment
side
that
we've
seen
a
bit
of
a
decline
between
2017
and
2018.
Generally
over
the
last
almost
ten
years,
there's
been
a
steady
increase
in
the
volume
of
applications
received
and
then
appealed
and
going
through
the
committee
of
adjustment
process.
Some
of
the
major
initiatives
for
City
Planning
this
year
include
the
growth
plan.
Some
community
activities
I
believe
we're
gonna
have
a
discussion
about
what
the
provincial
looks
like
the
housing
now
initiative
area
based
planning
studies.
C
Hopefully
you
are
all
familiar
with
them
and
what
Toronto
building
is
primarily
looking
at,
obviously,
the
issuance
of
building
permits
and
in
accordance
with
legislative
timelines,
ensuring
that
inspections
of
construction
are
undertaken
to
ensure
what
is
being
built
is
being
built
to
code
and
safely
for
our
residents,
as
well
as
ensuring
that
compliance
throughout
the
construction
period
is
undertaken.
Look
at
some
of
the
facts
as
some
of
the
challenges
or
some
of
the
volumes
that
toronto
building
dealt
with
in
2018.
C
They
actually
had
a
93
percent
success
rate
as
far
as
hitting
their
legislated
time
frames,
but
certainly
when
you
look
at
the
volumes
of
permit
applications
over
v,
almost
52,000
in
one
year,
which
represents
approximately
seventeen
billion
dollar
value
and
home
building
and
170
thousand
plus
mandatory
building
inspections.
So
certainly
shows
that
the
the
volume
of
work
is
not
not
declined.
The
next
slide
shows
the
trends
and
we're
still
seeing
that
growth
in
applications
for
building
permits,
and
over
the
past
10
years,
we've
seen
a
continuous
increase.
C
Similarly
to
city
plantings,
experienced
by
sector
high-rise
residential
represents
about
42%
low-rise
residential
about
twenty
four
percent,
with
a
variety
of
commercial
and
industrial
institutional
scattered
in
between
some
of
the
key
major
initiatives
are
toronto.
Building
they
are
undergoing
a
significant
program.
C
Review
will
is
leading
that
and
it's
certainly
ensuring
that
the
the
manner
in
which
the
building
division
is
operating
is
the
most
efficient
and
effective
for
our
interests
in
ensuring
that
we
have
safe
housing
being
constructed
in
the
city,
big
focus
on
staff
for
toronto
building
this
year,
one
of
the
other
divisions,
lesser-known
municipal
licensing
and
standards,
separated
a
little
bit
differently.
As
far
as
our
subject,
there
are
service
areas
not
on
a
district
model,
but
primarily
centralized
so
the
area
in
MLS
that
you
will
mostly
be
hearing
from
it.
C
This
committee
relates
to
the
work
being
done
in
investigation
services,
which
is
the
private
property
related
work.
So,
just
for
a
quick
highlight,
you'll
see
how
MLS
is
divvied
up,
and
the
bulk
of
the
work
I
say
coming
to
this
committee
will
relate
to
the
work
undertaken
by
investigation
services
in
that
realm
of
bylaws.
That
that
group
looks
after
are
those
related
to
private
property
and
private
property
standards.
C
Matters
and
you'll
see
the
list
of
the
various
bylaws
that
this
area
is
responsible
for,
notably
one
of
the
most
significant
being
the
property
standards
by
law,
but
also
our
apartment
buildings,
bylaw
relatively
new
and
is
representative
of
our
rent
safety
o
program.
So
the
reports
related
to
work
in
these
areas
is
what
you
will
see
at
this
committee.
As
far
as
highlights,
go,
I
think
that
one
of
the
biggest
ones
for
us
was
the
rent
safety,
oh
and
the
apartment
building
standards
program.
C
Having
undertaken
an
evaluation
of
all
of
the
buildings,
we
have
melty
res
hai,
multi,
residential
high-rise
buildings
in
the
city
and
determining
an
audit
schedule
based
on
those
results
in
in
overall,
an
investigation
services
group.
They
responded
to
over
one
hundred
twenty
eight
thousand
service
requests
oden
undertaken
over
one
hundred.
Eighty
four
thousand
inspections.
C
C
As
far
as
the
division
goes
against
very
similarly
to
our
colleagues
and
City
Planning
Toronto
Building
MLS
is
focusing
on
our
people
and
making
sure
that
we're
delivering
service
as
efficiently
as
effectively
as
possible
in
gaining
compliance
as
well
as
we
can
major
initiatives
as
I've
mentioned-
include
the
apartment,
building,
standards,
Graham
and
updating
the
property
standards
bylaw.
So
those
are
the
three
of
the
divisions
supporting
this
committee
and
I'll.
Ask
Julie
to
step
in
so
in.
D
Terms
of
community
and
social
services,
there
are
really
two
divisions
that
will
provide
the
main
support
to
this
committee.
They
have
a
number
of
service
areas
under
them.
I'm
going
to
be
focusing
this
presentation
on
the
service
areas
that
are
going
to
be
most
working
more
closely
with
you
with
all
of
you,
so
the
affordable
housing
office
is
largely
focused
on
affordable
housing
development.
D
So,
looking
at
the
affordable
housing
officers,
three
managers
that
report
to
Sean
chip
manages
the
housing
improvement
programs.
We
have
the
lessor
that
oversees,
affordable
housing,
development
and
Eric
is
an
overseas
policy
and
partnerships.
The
two
main
service
areas
that
are
going
to
be
interacting
with
this
committee
are
affordable,
housing,
development
and
policy
and
partnership
for
a
new,
affordable
housing.
D
We
always
leverage
and
we
oversee
the
good
stewardship
and
allocation
of
federal,
provincial
and
city
investments
and
incentives
and
that's
in
order
to
scale
up
our
efforts
to
build
more
affordable
housing
across
the
city
and
policies
and
partners.
Partnership
units
works
with
many
partners
across
the
city
in
the
community
to
develop
innovative
approaches
to
affordable
housing
development.
D
Now
there
are
three
major
initiatives
that
are
being
led
out
of
the
affordable
housing
office.
Two
of
them
are
on
this
slide,
you're
all
familiar
with
the
open
door
policy
which
launched
in
2016.
It
complements
the
federal
and
provincial
initiatives
in
terms
of
affordable
housing
and
it
really
scales
up
our
capacity
to
deliver
affordable
housing
by
utilizing
surplus
land
city
incentives
and
an
expedited
planning
approval
process.
D
The
housing
now
program,
which
was
recently
approved
by
council
activates
eleven
city-owned
surplus
sites
that
will
generate
10,000
new
residential
units
and
two-thirds
of
those
residential
units
are
going
to
be
purpose-built,
rental
and
half
of
that
purpose.
Boat
rental
will
be
affordable,
so
approximately
3,700
units
and
the
affordability
period
is
quite
long
in
99
years.
So
this
next
slide
just
shows
you
how
many
active
developments
the
affordable
housing
office
is
currently
overseeing
that
will
translate
into
just
under
7,000
units.
D
There's
a
number
of
initiatives
next
slide.
There
are
a
number
of
initiatives:
I'm
not
going
to
touch
them
all
that
help
us
accelerate
our
capacity
to
deliver,
affordable
housing
and
there
might
be
new
ideas
that
come
through
as
we
engage
in
the
consultations
with
the
various
stakeholders
across
the
city.
Moving
on
to
shelter,
support
and
housing.
There's
five
managers
in
total
in
sshh,
three
of
them
you're
going
to
get
to
know
a
little
more
well,
there's
Mary
and
Todd,
and
Doug
and
they're
going
to
support
Paul
and
the
interactions
with
this
committee.
D
There's
two
particular
programs
that
I
think
this
committee
is
going
to
be
interested
in
the
homes
for
good.
It's
just
a
provincial
program
aimed
at
creating
housing
opportunities
for
homeless
individuals
and
families
that
need
supports
in
order
just
a
house,
so
we're
talking
supportive
housing
and,
of
course
revitalization
of
T
of
tcht
communities
is
always
a
priority
and
it's
a
key
part
of
maintaining
and
sustaining
our
current
social
housing
stock.
So
you'll
be
hearing
about
that.
D
Major
initiatives
were
continually
staffer
continually
looking
for
opportunities
and
partnerships
to
develop
more
supportive
housing,
which
is
much
needed
across
the
city.
We're
also
currently
working
on
developing
an
updated
framework
with
respects
to
councils
input
an
approval
of
T
C
HC
rewrites.
The
fad
framework
is
going
to
look
at
better,
aligning
TCH
C's
development
and
revitalization
efforts
with
other
city
priorities
and
to
consider
opportunities
as
TCH
Siri
develops.
D
It's
like
to
not
just
replace
our
GI
units
and
create
market
offs
at
the
cost
of
those
rgi
but
opportunities
to
also
add
within
the
mix
more
affordable
housing
units.
In
terms
of
the
work
plan.
There's
two
slides
that
identified
by
quarters
a
major
reports
that
are
coming
forward
from
both
infrastructure
and
development
and
community
and
social
services
I'm
not
going
to
touch
on
them
all.
We
can
respond
to
questions,
but
in
the
interest
of
time
they're
there
for
you
to
consider.
C
B
B
F
B
G
Thanks
very
much
for
the
presentation
through
the
chair,
we're
seeing
that
the
work
here
coming
to
this
committee
is
quite
diverse
across
a
lot
of
different
divisions,
as
well
as
different
clusters.
Historic
clusters,
not
sure
what
the
new
word
is,
but
just
just
wanted
to
get
a
sense
of
how
we're
coordinating
across
the
not
just
the
divisions
but
also
the
former
clusters.
Again
I.
Don't
have
the
language
of
that.
C
So
through
you,
madam
chair,
we're
calling
service
areas,
I
think
it's
where
we've
landed,
though
we're
all
struggling
with
the
cluster
language,
so
I
mean
there's
especially
for
the
reports
coming
to
this
committee.
Yet
well,
you
know
what
as
many
of
the
others,
they
all
require
the
cross
divisional
work.
Many
of
us
have
interdivisional
working
groups
as
well
allows
Julie
to
comment
on
the
committee
structure
so.
D
In
turn,
from
our
housing,
affordable,
housing
development
perspective,
we
set
up
a
housing
league
committee
that
has
representatives
senior
representatives
from
all
of
the
divisions,
whether
it
be
planning
licensing,
affordable
housing,
s
sha
that
come
together
to
look
at
like
right.
Now
we're
very
much
focused
on
understanding
the
market
study,
we're
looking
forward
to
the
public
consultations,
and
then
we
have
to
formulate
concrete
actions
that
we're
going
to
recommend
to
council
for
the
next
10-year
housing
plan.
G
Thank
you
and
then
one
of
the
the
items
coming
up
here
is
the
report
on
changes
to
the
growth
plan
and
part
of
the
narrative
I.
Think
around
that
from
the
province
is,
you
know,
supposedly
improving
the
planning
system
making
housing
more
affordable
with
that,
but
not
necessarily
that
investment
in
the
infrastructure
and
the
staff,
so
in
light
of
that,
I
just
wanted
to
get
an
update
from
City
Planning
side
of
it
on
our
planning
and
approval
system
and
I
know
we
have
the
end-to-end
review
underway.
E
Threw
the
chair
the
that's
correct,
the
end
end
review
was
initiated
last
year
and
were
coming
to
a
point
where
were
we've
got
some
involving
many
many
divisions?
We've
got
some
emerging
directions
which
we'll
be
bringing
to
the
committee
likely
in
q1
I
would
think
it's
it's
not
identified
on
the
list
yet
because
we're
still
in
that
final
stage
of
deciding
which
directions
we
want
to
go
in,
but
it's
getting
close
and
will
be,
will
be
coming
forward
with
with
those
recommendations.
It's
great
thanks
very
much.
G
A
H
For
a
long
time,
yes,
thank
you
very
much
and
fir
and
also
for
the
the
programmatic
overview
in
the
work
plan.
Just
with
respect
to
the
trusty
ship
housing
program,
the
housing
trustees
ship
program,
as
well
as
the
rent
bank
I,
didn't
see
that
specifically
referenced
in
this
report,
or
at
least
the
work
plan.
I'm,
not
sure
if
it's
just
too
small
of
a
detail,
but
are
those
programs
coming
here
with
respect
to
reporting
out
so.
D
My
understanding
of
the
FIR
mandate
of
this
committee
is
it's
really
in
its
relation
to
housing
development.
Now,
as
we
do
develop
new,
affordable
housing
units,
we
do
ask
for
certain
degrees
of
affordability
built
in
within
the
RFP,
so
the
proponents
have
to
deliver
that,
but
also
what
we
do
as
a
city
is
to
get
to
reach
more
deeper
affordability
for
those
that
need
it.
We
will
leverage
our
different
rent
programs
and
our
different
housing
allowance
programs
to
drive
some
deeper
affordability
within
those
units
that
are
being
built
because.
H
D
The
chair,
we
are
look
working
with
real
estate
to
devise
a
strategy
on
strategic
acquisitions
of
certain
lands
and
part
of
that
might
be
affordable
housing.
There
might
be
other
you
know,
depending
where
it
is
on
the
city
and
where
those
lands
are
available.
There
might
be
other
opportunities
to
address
other
community
needs,
but
we're
working
hand-in-hand
with
real
estate
on
that
strategy
and.
H
H
It
said
now
going
through
the
housing
now
initiative,
because
housing
now
initiative
is
unlocking
the
city-owned
lands,
but
the
Housing
Opportunity
report
was
a
duck,
was
identifying
new
opportunities
that
the
city
didn't
already
control.
So
where
is
it
so
where's
expiration
strategy
going
I'm
just
a
little
confused,
threw.
H
K
C
Three,
madam
chair:
yes,
we
now
reference
it
councillor.
Fletcher
is
a
rent
safety.
Oh
and
we've
got
it
scheduled
for
q4,
which
will
be
the
annual
report
that
once
we've
got,
will
have
had
a
year
and
a
half
of
the
new
program.
And
then
you
by
law,
be
under
our
belts
by
that
point,
so
you
will
see
it
q4
and
the
second
from
the
bottom
kind
of
things
and.
J
C
It
will,
and
it
will
be
the
first
time
we're
reporting
out
fully
since
the
implementation
of
the
new
apartment
building
by
law.
The
new
registration
requirement
on
building
owners
I
did
have
a
slide
here,
I
skipped
through
quickly,
where
we've
had
about
99
percent
compliance
on
registration,
so
all
of
that
data
and
what
we've
been
able
to
glean
as
far
as
the
quality
of
living
standards
as
per
our
checklists
and
our
evaluation
process.
All
of
that
will
be
provided
and
then.
C
Yes,
sir,
you,
madam
chair,
I,
don't
think
there's
any
reason.
We
can't
do
that
ahead
of
this
annual
report.
Give
you
a
sense
of
where
things
are
at.
Certainly,
we
are
having
a
look
at
this
in
the
context
of
what's
happened
in
the
last
six
months
with
counselor
wantem
and
the
issues
in
st.
James
town,
so
certainly
getting
that
snapshot
for
you
by
Ward.
Once
we've
done
that
the
programming
to
address
the
new
ward
structures
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
accommodate
that
absolutely.
J
The
other
thing
that
this
is
kind
of
an
MLS,
affordable,
housing
it
or
perhaps
not
into
a
part
of
housing
versus
the
rooming
houses-
mm-hmm,
not
just
pardon
multi-tenant,
I'm,
sorry,
multi-tenant
and
so
just
having
an
overview
of
how
that's
operating
and
the
rooming
house
licenses
number
of
rooming
houses,
mm-hmm
I'm,
not
gonna,
call
them
multi-tenant,
I'm
gonna
call
them
what
we
licensed.
We
licensed
rooming
houses
and.
G
J
Many
are
there
mm-hmm.
What
is
the
compliance
rate?
How
many
hearings
are
there
that
type
of
reporting
out
that
has
always
been
under
MLS
and
yet
I
think
we
see
them
as
an
affordable
housing
solution
in
the
city?
I
think
that
deputy
city
manager
Carboni
would
agree
with
that,
so
somehow
bringing
them
under
a
little
more
scrutiny
or
making
sure
that
they're
traveling
properly
through
the
system.
Where
is
that
in
here?
So.
C
The
questions
you
are
asking
in
respect
to
the
current
operation
of
the
the
rooming
house
process,
which
you're
correct,
is
how
we
currently
license
is
a
matter
that's
being
reviewed
and
that
we
owe
a
report
back
on.
Mls
owes
a
report
back
on
believe
counselor
perks
actually
has
asked
for
that
in
the
years
past,
so
we've
been
looking
at
some
internal
procedural
changes,
but
I
think
we'll
MLS
will
take
that
back
and
have
a
look
at
what
we
can
provide.
C
Well,
there's
not
been
a
specific
reporting
out
on
an
annual
basis
on
the
existing
rooming
houses.
I
think
it
may
may
behoove
us
to
get
a
good
sense
of
what
we
have
going
on.
So
that's
certainly
some
body
of
work
that
would
be
undertaken
separate
and
from
ensuring
that
we're
building
out
permissions
as
part
of
the
broader
Housing,
Strategy
and.
J
Is
that
not
really
a
housing
strategy
issue
rather
than
an
MLS
issue,
I
think
that
because
it's
at
MLS
we
tend
to
forget
about
it.
So
knowing
how
many
rooming
houses
have
been
lost
or
any
issues
to
maintain
them,
that
is
I
would
say
an
affordable
housing
issue,
but
it's
at
MLS.
Have
you
had
any
thinking
about?
Moving
that
whole
operation
to
affordable
housing.
C
So
through
you,
madam
chair,
certainly
the
responsibility
or
the
oversight
for
managing.
We
have
not
looked
at
moving
that
over.
We
have
had
the
discussion
about
rooming
houses
or
multi
tenant
houses
being
a
part
of
the
housing
spectrum.
We
have
the
responsibility
on
the
enforcement
side.
This
does
tie
to
the
review
of
the
rooming
house
by
law,
these
chapter
to
85,
to
83
that
we
have
to
look
at
where
it's
best
housed
and
and
how
we
manage
the
registration
if
required,
versus
the
enforcement.
C
So
we've
not
talked
about
shifting
responsibility
on
that
at
this
point,
certainly
because
of
the
different
mandates
that
the
offices
have
affordable,
housing
is
very
different
from
what
we're
doing
with
rooming
houses.
It's
a
discussion
to
be
had,
as
we
do
look
at
how
we
manage
all
of
the
housing.
The
the
last
thing
I
would
say
to
that
is
we
have
looked
at
it
in
the
context
of
our
rent
safety
o
program
as
a
as
an
umbrella
program.
C
We
focus
it
on
the
high
right,
the
multi
residential
high-rise
buildings,
because
of
the
number
of
tenants
involved.
We've
contemplated
that
in
this,
in
the
expansion
of
this,
to
include
how
we're
managing
on
the
rooming
house
side,
but
certainly
some
reporting
on
the
current
state
we
can
manage.
We
talk
about
the
better
long-term.
What
role
they
play
in
the
city?
How
that's
best
managed
would
be
a
discussion
through
the
the
housing
opportunities
plan.
J
To
understand
and
the
obviously
maintaining
rooming
houses
in
state
of
good
repair
and
well-run
is
one
of
the
goals
for
affordable
housing.
We
agree,
they're
affordable,
there
really
are
within
our
portfolio
of
affordable
housing,
usually
privately
owned.
Although
I
think
TC
HC
had
owned
some
and
I
think
I
will
ask
for
a
report,
because
even
getting
a
hearing
is
proving
very
difficult.
J
Even
now
can't
get
hearings
on
my
rooming
houses,
though
that's
a
problem
for
me
and
if
it
might
be
prone
for
other
councillors,
yeah
can
I
just
ask
about
where
we're
looking
Airbnb
we're
at
the
higher
router
review
some.
Where
is
there
any
reporting
back
on
that
or
any
weaving
Airbnb
and
to
any
other
policies.
C
So
through
you,
madam
chair,
currently
we're
waiting
for
the
L
pad
hearing,
which
is
scheduled
for
five
days
in
August
of
this
year.
The
the
zoning
bylaw
as
enacted
was
challenged.
So
there's
not
been.
You
know
a
lot
to
report
out
on
other
than
us
waiting
for
the
outcomes
of
the
L
Pat
and
the
determination
on
whether
the
zone
who's
going
to
be
upheld,
which
it
should
and
then
the
roll
out
from
there.
C
E
J
G
J
G
The
chair
it's
a
three
year
program
that
encompasses
90
million
dollars
to
support
two
thousand
people
over
those
three
years.
Fifty
three
million
of
it
is
operating.
36
million
of
it
is
focused
on
capital.
We,
an
SSH
a
are
managing
the
operating
side
for
the
individuals,
and
mr.
Gannon
is
managing
the
capital
side.
The
development
was.
J
J
J
A
B
Okay,
so
I
see
that
this
schedule
here
has
the
housing
opportunities
plan
coming
to
a
report
to
Council
in
November
I've
been
concerned
about
the
timing,
their
precise
specifically
because
and
I've
experienced
this
on
other
files.
When
a
report
comes
in
November,
you've
missed
the
budget
cycle
because
you
don't
have
a
council
direction
when
the
budget
is
being
developed
which
starts
generally
June
or
July.
Has
that
been
taken
into
account.
D
B
D
K
D
B
B
B
A
D
B
B
J
See,
okay,
thank
you
and
I
also
just
want
to
ask
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
here
or
this
is
create,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
parking
lots
in
core
that
have
been
sold
and,
for
instance,
there's
one
in
your
ward,
councillor
100
stories
on
Cumberland
I.
Guess
it's
replacing
the
parking
lot
and
getting
more
parking,
but
there's
no
affordable
units
that
I
can
see
in
that
development.
J
So
is
there
some
way
that
we're
making
sure
that
at
this
moment,
any
of
those
sales
that
are
underway
for
TPA
or
anything
with
TPA
is
going
to
be
delivering
more
than
just
replaced
parking
or
actually
our
own
inclusionary
zoning
model,
because
we
own
that
we
own
that
land,
that's
making
that
development
possible.
Actually
so.
J
A
Ok,
thank
you
and
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
on
the
planning
side.
So
Kendra
Bradford's
asked
me
about
the
end-to-end
review
and
we
also
have
some
issues
with
staffing
and
filling
the
positions
that
we
have
available.
Is
this
gonna
be
a
major
initiative
this
year
that
we're
gonna
try
to
tackle
both
of
them,
because
I
keep
hearing
that
it
is
a
challenge
to
attract
talent
to
maintain
talent?
So
what
are
we?
What
is
the
department
doing
well.
E
The
the
accurately
deputy
mayor,
you
accurately
reflect
the
challenge
that
we
have
in
our
the
disciplines
that
are
in
the
City
Planning
Division
are
in
high
demand,
both
inside
the
city
and
in
other
workplaces,
so
we're
we've,
we've
got
I
believe
around
70
I
believe
it
is
active
recruitment
underway
right
now,
7
0
7
0,
so
the
churn
is
significant
in
the
Planning
Division,
but
we
have
devoted
HR
staff
that
are
coming
on
stream.
We
have
increased
those
resources
to
support
the
hiring
process.
E
E
We
you
know
we
were.
We,
for
example,
have
gone
to
the
American
Planning
Association
conference
and
done
recruitment.
We
have
we
maintain
active
relationships
with
all
of
the
academic
institutions.
I
meet
with
the
president
of
University
of
Toronto
every
month.
There's
a
lot
of
network
support
that
we
do
participating
with
those
with
the
geography
departments
and
the
planning
programs.
E
We
also
hire
summer
students
every
year
to
do
the
Employment
Survey,
so
we
have
a
good
resource,
probably
about
15
or
20
paid
interns
who
come
into
our
Employment
Survey
and
turn
into
a
great
crop
of
people
to
hire
for
assistant
planners.
So
we've
pretty,
you
know
broad,
reaching
effort
underway
still,
though,
with
the
churn
I
don't
want
to
underestimate
the
effect
that
it
has
on
our
ability
to
maintain
our
compliment.
A
To
the
deputy
city
manager,
I
was
listening
to
the
question
from
councillor
Fletcher
on
the
rooming,
housing
and
I
think
we're
all
struggling
a
little
bit
with
that.
The
vision
of
work
in
terms
of
what's
gonna
come
here
and
what's
going
to
go
to
other
departments,
I
have
the
same
question
very
much
so
about
the
role
of
the
SSH.
A
what's
going
to
come
here.
A
What's
gonna,
go
to
economic
and
Community
Development,
so
is
fair
to
say
that
a
plan,
the
high-level
strategy
around
housing
and
the
capital
side
of
the
housing,
the
building
and
what
can
facilitate
that.
So
all
the
planning
tools,
all
the
high
strategies
comes
here
and
the
day
to
day
implementation
so,
for
example,
the
running
of
our
shelter
system,
the
running
of
our
server,
how
social
housing
goes
to
community
development,
or
in
this
case
the
rooming
house.
You
know
the
strategy,
the
the
program
is
here
and
then
the
implementation
on
the
day-to-day
goes
to
MLS.
C
Through
you,
madam
chair,
the
rooming
houses
in
particular
is
a
bit
of
an
anomaly
because
it's
one
of
the
few,
if
only
type
of
residential
use
that
is
licensed
so
we're
gonna,
have
to
have
a
discussion
with
clerks
on
whether
or
not
that
piece
that
councillor
Fletcher
is
asking
about
from
a
because
it's
a
licensing
bylaw
whether
it
ought
to
be
under
the
Mandate
of
the
general
government
and
licensing
committee,
its
lending
itself,
to
that
now
that
I'm
thinking
through
the
way
the
mandates
have
differentiated.
Certainly
for
MLS.
C
It
was
more
straightforward
when
there
was
a
dedicated
licensing
and
standards
committee.
So
we
are
finding
our
work
being
pulled
apart
to
suit
the
mandates
which
you
know
makes
sense
to
me
as
well.
So
we're
gonna
have
to
work
through
where
the
request
on
the
rooming
house,
licensing,
bylaw,
would
come
back
to
and
I
think
it's
very
much
driven
by
the
nature
of
the
report
and
the
type
of
type
of
content
they
were
reporting
out
on.
C
So
we're
gonna
have
to
have
that
conversation
if
it's
in
respect
to
the
quality
of
living
standards,
irrespective
of
it
being
rooming,
house
or
other,
then
that
would
come
here
so
that
one
is,
is
one
that
we're
gonna
have
to
work
through.
We've
had
some
challenges
with
a
number
of
MLS
related
issues,
because
they
they
do
kind
of
come
apart.
There's
also
an
opportunity,
perhaps
on
economic
and
Community
Development.
C
If
it's
dealing
with
the
current
licensing
regime,
it
will
likely
it
ought
to
lend
itself
to
that
committee
as
we
deal
with
rooming
houses
as
a
form
of
Housing
Development
thereof,
then
that
would
that
piece
of
that
issue
would
belong
here
in
which
it's,
why
it's
being
tied
in
to
the
broader
Housing
Strategy,
so
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
work
through
the
ask
and
the
nature
of
the
content
to
directed.
Can
you.
A
D
Let's
just
Tracy
said
we
are
going
to
work
very
closely
with
clerks.
What
I
envision
is
when
the
housing
opportunities
plan
the
housing
plan
comes
for.
It
is
approved
by
this
committee,
there's
going
to
be
a
number
of
actions
and
strategies
that
council
will
consider
and
then
approve,
and
we
will
move
forward
on
those
on
implementing
all
of
that
and
provide
regular
updates
to
this
committee
on
where
we're
at
having
said
that,
something
like
supportive
housing
if
we're
developing
new
supportive
housing
that
will
come
here.
D
It's
new
development,
if
it's
a
matter
of
our
late
working
with
a
community
partner,
to
bring
services
into
a
particular
unit.
That
piece
may
end
up
going
to
economic
and
community
development,
but
as
I
say,
because
that's
the
service
and
it's
bringing
the
services
into
the
units
as
opposed
to
the
actual
development,
but
we'll
strike
that
balance
working
through
the
clerk
in
terms
of
how
we
balance
that,
but
for
sure,
on
the
annual
update
or
biannual.
D
A
A
D
A
A
So
there's
a
lot
of
work
ahead
of
us
I
think
the
committee
is
energetic
energized
to
work
with
wood
staff
on
many
of
these
issues
and
with
the
public.
So
thank
you
and
it's
got
to
work.
Ok
motion
to
receive
counsel
for
Bradford
all
those
in
favor
and
that
carries
ID
5
Toronto
housing
market
analysis
insight
to
action.
We
have
a
presentation.
F
F
F
F
M
The
original
intent
of
this
was
to
bring
together
a
number
of
housing
indicators
to
provide
insight
into
the
housing
market,
but
also
the
challenges
that
people
face
and
will
continue
to
face
under
the
current
and
projected
conditions.
It's
meant
to
be
updated
each
year
and
it'll
become
a
compendium
of
of
indicators
that
people
can
refer
to
to
develop
better
programs
and
strategies.
So
I
just
want
to
take
you
through
some
of
the
present-day
conditions.
M
Just
a
highlight,
there's
a
great
deal
more
in
here
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
some
of
the
projections
that
we
developed.
So
low-income
renters
are
stuck
in
unaffordable
units
with
Toronto's
shortage
of
low-cost
rental
housing,
most
low
income,
renter
households,
experience
housing,
housing,
affordability,
stress,
eighty,
seven
percent,
that's
of
renter
households
living
in
the
private
rental
market,
with
pre-tax
income
of
less
than
$30,000
are
spending
more
than
30%
of
their
incomes
on
shelter.
M
So
this
does
not
just
affect
low-income
people.
We've
found
the
renters
are
stuck
waiting
to
own
prices
in
the
rental,
and
ownership
markets
have
become
decoupled
from
income,
so
median
house
median
income.
Renter
households
would
require
between
eleven
and
twenty
seven
years
to
save
for
a
10%
down
payment
on
a
medium-price
home.
So
just
to
give
you
some
idea
of
how
prices
have
taken
off.
People
are
living
in
unsuitable
conditions
again.
In
2016,
nearly
one
in
three
renter
family
households
were
living
in
unsuitable
housing
and
unsuitable
is
defined
as
unaffordable,
overcrowded
or
in
bad
repair.
M
There's
a
significant
shortage
of
new
purpose-built
rental
housing,
purpose-built
rental
developments
have
accounted
for
a
small
fraction
about
6%
of
the
development
pipeline
from
2011
to
2016.
There's
been
a
modest
increase
in
purpose-built
rentals.
Since
then,
almost
all
of
the
nearly
48,000
new
rental
households
formed
from
2011
to
2016
were
accommodated
in
the
secondary
market.
That's
rented
condominiums
and
secondary
Suites.
M
We
also
found
that
the
city
has
significant
areas
of
population
decline,
large
parts
of
the
city's,
so-called
yellow
belt
experience,
population
decline
or
very
little
growth
between
2011
and
2016.
These
areas
with
declining
populations
have
about
220,000
fewer
people
since
20
2001,
the
missing
demographics,
in
this
case
our
children
and
early
mid-career
adults.
M
Now
some
of
the
projections
that
that
we've
made
using
Paul's
model
Toronto's
natural
population
growth
is
projected
to
be
1.0.
3
million
people
is
an
annual
average
growth
41,000
from
here
moving
forward
to
2040
1.
This
projection
exceeds
the
provincial
target
in
the
places
to
grow
act
by
almost
500,000,
which
represents
represents
excess
demand
of
all
most
220,000
households
over
that
which
was
recognized
in
the
places
to
grow
targets.
M
The
city's
population,
at
the
same
time,
will
get
older
people
currently
aged
50
to
69
will
live
longer
and
contribute
to
substantial
increases
in
the
number
of
seniors
as
they
age
by
2031.
The
number
of
seniors
between
the
ages
of
65
and
84
will
have
grown
by
51%
and
will
outnumber
children
for
the
first
time.
Children
under
the
age
of
14
demand
for
long-term
care
will
increase
significantly
from
2016
to
2030.
One
demand
will
grow
by
15,000
to
close
to
45,000
people
in
the
following
decade
to
2040.
M
M
More
people
will
also
live
in
low-income
households.
Approximately
540,000
people
will
live
in
low-income
households
by
2030
one
up
from
four
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
in
2016
by
2040
one.
Nearly
600,000
people
will
live
in
low-income
households.
Most
people
living
in
low-income
are
distributed
from.
You
can
see
from
this
map
in
the
familiar
u-shaped
pattern
that
stretches
from
the
Northwest
in
Etobicoke
south
to
the
lake
narrowly
through
the
downtown
and
up
north
and
east
carlton.
M
More
people
will
be
in
housing
in
core
housing
need
households
in
core
housing
need
will
grow
by
twice
the
rate.
Over
the
past
twelve
years
there
will
be
47
thousand
more
households
in
core
housing
need
by
2030
one
or
nearly
300,000.
In
total
by
2040
1,
the
number
will
grow
to
approximately
330,000
equivalent
to
about
20%
of
the
total
households
in
toronto.
M
It
will
be
no
surprise
that
the
social
housing
waitlist
will
increase
significantly.
In
the
absence
of
new
social
housing
units,
the
waitlist
for
social
housing
will
grow
to
approximately
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
households
in
2031
and
135,000
households
by
2040
one
an
increase
of
30
percent
and
close
to
50
percent
respectively.
M
The
demand
for
supportive
housing
will
grow
faster
than
the
population,
the
waitlist
for
mental
health
and
addictions.
Supportive
housing
is
expected
to
grow
by
2030
one
to
seventeen
thousand
seven
hundred,
that's
an
increase
of
31
percent
over
2016
and
more
than
3.5
times
the
close
to
5,000
provincially
funded
units
people
are
stuck
in
shelters,
hospitals
or
correctional
institutions,
rooming
houses
and
boarding
houses
for
an
average
of
five
to
seven
years,
waiting
for
supportive
housing.
M
New
social
housing
units
are
needed
to
relieve
that
those
hundred
and
twenty-two
thousand
households
that
pay
more
than
30
percent,
and
often
more
than
50
of
their
income
on
rent
a
portable
ownership
units
are
needed
to
help
relieve
renters
who
want
to
own
and
to
free
up
some
of
the
rental
units
in
which
they
live.
Toronto
needs
to
address
housing
and
equity
as
experienced
by
people
who
do
not
live
in
the
city
core
and
along
transit.
M
Many
low-income
residents
face
housing
inequity
as
they
live
in
high-rise
apartment
buildings,
which
are
primarily
constructed
some
60
years
ago
and
and
are
at
risk
of
a
building
and
system
failure.
I
must
also
say
we
found
that
the
lowest
income
renters
are
live
in
non
condo,
secondary
rental
units.
These
are
de
facto
rooming
houses.
M
Toronto
needs
more
supply
of
both
market
and
affordable
rental
housing.
The
accelerated
population
growth
results
in
more
household
formation
and
results
in
an
increased
need
for
housing.
It's
clearly
in
the
demographics
and
finally,
Toronto
needs
to
collect
better
data
to
inform
future
policies
and
programs.
M
These
data
gaps
would
link
household
characteristics
to
the
characteristics
of
housing,
so
that
we
can
tell
what
kinds
of
families
households
live
in
what
kind
of
housing
it's
surprising
that
we
don't
really
have
data
at
that
level
of
granularity.
To
begin
to,
tell
us
that
and
I
think
it's
a
about
time
that
we
all
worked
hard
to
get
that.
H
H
And
and
the
fact
that
you
are
saying
that
the
city
needs
to
collect
even
further
data,
so
you
can
actually
disaggregate
the
components
that
you
just
identified
in
your
last.
Second
last
slide:
I
noticed
that
there
isn't
a
request
or
or
perhaps
it's
not
in
your
presentation,
but
the
language,
around
equity
and
housing
equity
without
looking
at
issues
and
subject
matters
such
as
race,
gender.
H
Newcomer
status
I
find
that
to
perhaps
be
a
missing
component
to
really
get
a
picture
of
who's
being
left
behind
in
the
city
and
whose
housing
needs
were
not
addressing.
Is
that
and
knowing
that
used
statistics
Canada
data,
some
of
that
would
have
been
contained
in
there?
Is
there
a
reason
why
you
didn't
break
it
down
in
a
more
disaggregated
form
in.
N
Terms
of
through
the
chase
or
in
terms
of
immigrant
status
and
income,
we
had
that
information
and
that
analysis
in
terms
of
other
minority
identifiers.
We
find
that
the
data
is
possibly
not
as
strong
as
you'd
like
it
to
be.
In
order
to
be
able
to,
you
know,
go
out
and
actually
make
extremely
strong
policy
statements
around
what
we
find
with
the
immigration
data.
We,
you
know,
we
didn't
really
find
a
statistically
compelling
case
between
some
immigrants,
certain
immigrant
status
and
people
who
have
lived
here
longer
than
10
years,
for
instance,
so.
I
K
H
N
The
chair,
you
will
find
in
the
report
that
we
do
look
at
the
gender
inequality
gap,
I,
believe
and
because
you
will
find
that
there
are
some
very
strong
biases
in
terms
of
single
mothers
and
the
predicaments
that
they
find
themselves
in
within
the
cities.
So
I
think
you
will
find
some
of
that
information
within
the
in
within
the
report
itself.
I.
H
Okay,
is
there
a
way
to
remedy
that
that,
because,
obviously,
this
report
has
been
generated
for
the
affordable
housing
office
team
they're
going
to
be
creating
a
ten
year
plan,
it's
going
to
try
to
meet
the
housing
needs
of
Torontonians
and
recognizing
that
were
the
most
diverse
city
in
the
world.
It
would
be
I
think
a
lost
opportunity
if
we
actually
produced
a
plan
that
did
not
equitably
address
those
individuals
that
we
know
are
probably
experiencing
the
most
Hartmann
and
hardship
when
it
comes
to
housing.
K
N
The
chair,
the
some
of
the
information,
is
a
good
being
made
available
through
modeling,
given
some
more
time
but
again,
I.
Think
that
part
of
the
conclusions
that
you'll
find
coming
out
of
this.
So,
for
instance,
we
see
that
people
in
low-income
need
that's
definitely
passed
amongst
women.
But
when
you
have
a
look
at
aging
profile
of
this
particular
population,
there
are
certain
disease
categories
that
carry
with
them
on
the
mental
health.
N
M
You
go
if
you
look
on
page
20
and
21
of
the
report.
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
a
printed
copy
of
the
report
there.
One
of
the
things
that
we
do
show
is
the
proportion
of
children
in
Toronto
and
the
GTA
that
are
in
lone
parent
families,
and
then
we
indicate
that
the
long
parent
families
are
predominantly
led
by
women.
On
page
21,
we
talk
about
the
long
projected
number
of
lone
parent
households
in
Toronto
and
the
GTA,
showing
the
growth
of
that
to
close
to
350,000.
M
So
the
characteristics
of
the
family
with
respect
to
income
and
gender
and
family
situation
are
identified
in
the
report
and
it's
clear
that
the
shelter
the
housing
requirements
are
there
in
an
order
of
magnitude
and
that's
really
what
we
are
trying
to
do
at
the
statistics.
It
it's
well
covered
in
other
divisions
of
the
city,
sort
of
this,
the
social
conditions
and
the
social
programs.
But
what
we
wanted
to
do
was
put
a
human
face
on
the
housing
requirement.
M
H
You
very
much
that
is
very
helpful.
I
just
think
that
when
we
talk
about
equity,
we
can't
be
using
it
as
a
loose
term
without
understanding
who
is
being
affected,
so
I'm
going
to
encourage
that
the
staff-
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation-
is
that
moving
forward
to
be
critically
helpful
to
actually
speak
specifically
about
the
populations
that
we
need
to
help
and
and
that
actually
are
waiting
for
assistance.
Thank
you.
G
M
M
The
interesting
thing
about
that
is,
it
is
a
continuum
and
so
any
movement,
any
significant
movement
on
anywhere
along
there
is
going
to
start
to
develop
the
the
pathways
that
we
talked
about.
So
if
you
move
on
supportive
housing,
then
that's
going
to
help
get
people
out
of
shelters.
It's
going
to
help
people
get
people
out
of
the
inadequate
situation.
M
G
So
I
have
a
couple
follow-up
questions
on
that
then
from
the
modeling
that
you
guys
did
for
this,
especially
the
projections
showing
the
growth
that
we're
gonna
anticipate
here.
Can
you
describe
or
elaborate
on
how
you
factored
in
the
missing
middle
housing,
piece
in
particular,
and
what
implications
that
has
when
we're
doing
the
projections,
as
well
as
what
changes,
what
we
might
see
or
hope
to
see
for
planning
permissions
with
respect
to
the
yellow
about
the
our
zoning
in
our
neighborhoods.
N
Or
there
is
a
natural
scenario
that
the
report
refers
to
and
the
natural
scenario
is
statistically,
if
you
built
what
population
was
demanding,
how
would
this
city
actually
start
to
change
and
you'll
find
that
the
natural
growth
Center
is
much
higher
than
the
other
two
scenarios,
which
basically
means
that
there
is
an
over
demand?
Excess
demand
on
what
the
city
will
supply
over
the
next
10
to
20
years?
N
Part
of
the
problem-
and
yes,
we're
factored
in
that
there
is
restrictions
across
46
percent
of
the
neighbor.
Sorry,
three
thirty,
forty
six
neighborhoods
or
33
percent
of
the
neighborhoods
in
the
city
are
actually
shrinking
and
that
has
been
factored
in
and
we
do
see
that
by
virtue
of
not
a
building
what
is
being
demanded,
and
secondly,
allowing
a
lot
of
the
land
productivity
that's
held
within
the
city
to
drop,
you
actually
find
that
the
city
ages
faster,
because
people
will
age
in
place
and
this
point
about
the
inequality.
N
What
we
are
part
of
I,
guess
with
the
term,
is
that
the
city
is
in
gridlock
there
once
you
actually
find
a
dwelling
and
whether
it's
acceptable
or
not,
you
stick
to
it.
You
hold
on
to
it,
because
dwellings
are
scarce
resources
within
the
city
that
has
been
occurring.
You
know
for
a
probably
a
good
part
of
the
past
decade,
so
in
terms
of
it's
very
hard
to
account
for
where
the
county
for
missing
metal
what
we
haven't
given.
M
It's
just
a
rough
sketch
of
the
housing
market,
but
what
you
see
there
is
that
we
are
very
short
on
apartments,
fewer
than
five
stories
and
row
duplex
and
other
attached
dwellings,
the
classic
missing
middle.
So
if
there
were
opportunities
in
these
neighborhoods
that
Paul
is
talking
about
to
put
ease
those
kinds
of
that
kind
of
built
form
into
there,
it
might
work
yeah.
M
B
B
Think
I've
made
my
point
so
now
I
just
wanted
to
pursue
this.
Some
of
the
things
you
were
saying
about
the
natural
market
and
and
the
US
not
providing
the
supply
to
meet
the
demand.
So
does
our
official
plan
offer
lands
to
build
many
many
many
many
many
more
units
than
are
currently
being
built
like
do?
We
have
lots
of
land
out
there
in
the
ope
that
says
you
can
build
here
and
no
one's
building
on
it.
Yet.
M
B
Ask
them
later
I
want
to
get
your
opinion.
A
quick
over
example.
We've
we've
designated
growth
areas,
avenues
and
a
great
deal
of
neighborhoods,
where
you're
allowed
to
build
four-story
buildings.
All
that
land
sitting
out
there
is
permitted.
We've
got
the
supply.
You
say
that
the
supply
is
absent,
so
I'm
having
a
bit
of
a
conundrum.
N
Through
the
chair,
it's
so
supply
as
a
policy
and
market
driven
issue.
Demand
is
actually
easier
to
model
because
it's
driven
by
population
choices
and
economics,
and
things
like
that.
One
observation
that
I
would
point
you
towards
is
I
personally
was
surprised
at
the
difference
between
the
permits
issued
and
the
construction
rates.
The.
N
B
So
would
I
be
correct
in
saying
the
City
of
Toronto
offers
supply
for
a
variety
of
housing
types,
everything
from
a
townhouse
and
I
know,
I've
approved
them
in
my
ward,
a
four-story
apartment,
type,
building,
stacked,
back-to-back
townhouses
to
a
mid-rise
building
a
tall
tower
and
that
there
is
land
set
aside
in
our
official
plan
to
provide
all
of
those
housing
types
in
excess
of
current
demand.
Would
I
be
right,
saying
that
we.
B
J
J
J
I
guess
I'm
just
gonna
pick
up
on
his
point.
It
kind
of
looks
like
it's
the
city
itself
that
hasn't
been
building
this
housing
rather
than
there's
a
blockage
in
the
money
pipeline.
In
order
to
build
it,
would
you
agree
a
lot
of
people
think
that
we
simply
can
pick
up
and
build
anything,
but
we
rely
on
funding
from
other
levels
of
government
in
order
to
build
it,
such
as
the
supportive
housing
that
we
heard
about
today.
That's
all
coming
provincial
II.
M
J
About
it
and
we
have
a
plan,
but
on
PG
there's
a
picture
in
here
the
areas
that
are
in
growth
right
now,
it's
page
8
I
just
wondered
you
have
some
employment
areas
here
that
are
showing
the
residential
growth.
So
I
just
wondered
if
you
ever
considered
in
your
tables
to
have
the
employment
areas
which
are
non-residential
isolated
in
some
way,
just
too
small
yeah.
That's
her
I
always
watch
out
to
see
if
you
have
Eastern
Avenue
covered
in
two
percent
girls
and
you
do
zone
for
that,
and.
J
Have
the
Portland's
in
there
at
five
to
fifteen
percent,
there's
nobody
who
lives
there
at
the
moment,
so
it
just,
it
can
feel
me.
That's
all
I'm,
just
asking
planning
as
well
we're
clear
on.
What's
I
think
we're
asking
you
later,
but
you
might
want
to
comment
on
that
and
I.
Don't
know
where
the
other
ones
are
about
a
different
thing
here
with
that
can
I.
Just
ask
about
air
B&B
I
didn't
find
in
here
is
where
you
analyze
the
impact
of
short-term
rental
market
on
traumas,
housing
supply
and
we've
had
two
estimates.
J
Mls
is
estimated
that
it's
redo
taken
out
about
3,200
spots
or
place
apartments
places
to
rent
for
a
long
term,
rental
or
sustainable
rental,
and
to
put
it
on
to
the
turnover
the
churn
rental
and
fair
B&B
says
it's
higher.
Six
thousand
four:
is
there
some
reason
why
that's
not
focus
they
didn't
give
a
focus
to
that,
and
here
is
one
of
the
impediments
to
that's
a
lot
of
units.
K
J
N
The
chair,
the
focus
of
this
particular
study,
was
on
the
demand
side,
as
opposed
to
the
supply
side.
So
we
have
an
understanding
of
the
amount
of
stock.
That's
currently
rented
available
for
long
term
rent,
so
we've
not
considered
the
short
term,
that's
not
to
say
it's
an
extremely
important
factor
in
taking
rental
units
off
the
market,
but
our
focus
was
on
the
supply
side
to
give
the
city
and
yourselves
a
sense
of
you
know
some
of
the
planning
considerations
there.
J
J
M
I
think
that's
you
I
think
it's
important
and
I
think
that
this
is
meant
to
be
a
compendium.
We
sort
of
picked
40
indicators.
We
talked
about
maybe
20
of
them,
15
of
them
today,
and
certainly
for
next
year,
the
because
it
does
talk
about
an
annual
update
that
that's
something
that
you
could
ask
to
be
in
the
calculations
for
the
for
the
update.
It
could
also
be
that
there's
a
policy
that
changes
that
and
those
units
are
no
longer
used
for
Airbnb.
The
fact
is
that
they
are
in
the
market.
Nevertheless,
yeah.
J
J
J
It
does
appear
that
there's
15%
of
shelter
residents,
that's
what
you've
talked
about
page
43,
15%
of
shelter
residents
who
have
episodic
or
chronic
turns
that
consumed
half
of
the
shelter
capacity.
So
what
steps
are
you
advising
or
you're
flagging
that
they're,
designed
to
help
this
portion
of
the
homeless
population?
Would
that
be
the
supportive
housing
factor
and
getting
people
into
more
subtle
situation?
J
Just
a
question
here
on
page
25,
again,
six
hundred
and
fifty
eight
thousand
seven
hundred
ninety
five
apartments.
Are
you
and
put
your
concluding
condominiums
in
the
apartments,
or
are
you
just
talking
about
apartments?
Yes,
so
when
you
talk
about
apartment
your
that
year,
that's
everything
apartment,
buildings,
condominiums
and
the
difference
between
condos.
J
Okay
and
just
on
the
L
long-term
care
and
I'm
very
pleased
that
you've
brought
that
in
here
and
huge
in
population
for
long-term
care.
I'm
wondering
about
your
advice
there
that
the
building
form
for
long-term
care
is
so
suburban
that
it's
almost
impossible
to
build
a
long-term
care
site
any
longer
in
the
city.
Right.
Do
you
have
any
advice
on
that?
G
M
M
J
Did
Telstra
you're
Doncaster
if
I
just
ask
for
their
advice
on
the
long-term
care
problem
that
you've
identified,
that
we
have
this
problem
of
this
acceleration,
those
who'll
be
needing
long-term
care
and
the
built
form
problem
that
we
can't
build
long-term
care
within
the
city
limits
anyway.
It's
not
yes,.
M
J
Last
the
rooming
houses
as
a
place
where
you
know
poor
people
live,
they
have
for
a
long
time
had
a
room.
Is
there
any
advice
here
in
maintaining
those
or
actually
developing,
more
or
developing
a
policy?
There,
people
I
think
that's
part
of
this
or
not.
We
don't
think
of
them
as
part
of
the
affordable
housing
continuum,
but
in
my
ward
they
are
well.
M
We
we've
been
doing
some
work
on
housing
and
we're
finding
that,
in
fact,
more
and
more
shared
accommodation
is
the
way
in
which
people
are
coping
with
high
cost
and
low
incomes.
The
whole
decoupling
of
the
cost
of
housing
from
wages
has
created
a
situation
where
a
great
many
people
are
sharing
rooms
in
houses,
and-
and
so
you
have
this
occurring
in
the
what
we
call
the
non
condo
secondary
rental
market,
which
are
detached
homes
and
and
semies.
N
I
made
quickly
through
the
chair,
it's
implicit
within
this
study
is
the
city
is
leaving
a
Productivity
problem.
Productivity
of
its
land,
productivity
of
dwellings
are
already
built,
so
implicit
in
this
study
is
any
way
of
getting
more
out
of
what
is
already
there,
because
it's
not
just
about
you
know
the
city,
as
far
as
we
can
tell,
will
not
be
able
to
build
itself
out
of
these
issues
or
challenges.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
so
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions.
So
I
said
to
you
with
regards
to
the
data
and
I'm
gonna
pick
on
some
points
that
counts.
A
long
time
was
talking
about.
So
I
noticed
that
on
page
21
you
have
a
map
with
the
visible
minorities.
If
we
need
to
layer
some
of
this
data,
for
example,
so
visible
minorities
with
income
with
where
development
is
happening,
we
can
do
that.
You
have
that
data
that
can
be
layered
and
we
can
have
the
different
scenarios
correct,
yeah,.
N
A
N
N
Dwellings
well
he's.
The
thing
is
that
the
city
is
has
undergone
it's
an
attraction
of
people
and
population,
and
despite
the
fact
that
the
province
wants
Durham
to
grow,
double
and
Houghton
and
Niagara
and
everything
else
they
not.
The
population
wants
to
be
in
the
city
and
that's
a
market
that
is
a
demographic,
a
demographic
demand
driven
and
I'm,
not
a
planner,
but
you
know
it
was
I.
Think
the
nineteenth
century
was
about
empires.
N
The
20th
century
was
about
countries,
the
21st
century
seems
to
be
about
cities
and
essentially
you're
you're
living
through
this
access
demand
to
actually
be
closer
to
and
and
the
thing
is,
as
a
transportation
productivity
issues
with
transportation
outside
of
the
city.
A
lot
of
the
risks
of
the
city
actually
occur
outside
the
city.
So
if
there
are
certain
things
outside
the
city,
the
population
was
to
get
in
because
it's
serviced.
A
You
talked
about
under
housed,
but
I've
I've
read
reports
of
over
how's
existing.
Yes,
we're
actually
surprised
that
this
report
doesn't
talk
at
all
about
that,
but
because,
if
we're
talking
about
housing
policy,
we
should
take
both
in
consideration,
because
there
might
be
some
policies
actually
that
we
need
to
implement
in
order
to
facilitate
the
mobility
of
people
so
that
those
over
house
people.
N
And,
as
you
know,
we're
the
authors
of
a
lot
of
studies
in
that
particular
space,
so
that
can
certainly
be.
We
have
rich
data
sets
which
have
been
performed
as
part
of
this
work
to
where
we
can
actually
return
back
to
this
issue
in
the
city
that
there
is
this
geometric
mismatch,
because
a
significant
part
of
the
city
is
not
right
sizing
and
they
do
have
a
lot
of
empty
bedrooms
within
the
city.
N
In
fact,
I've
sorry
I
can't
don't
never
statistic
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
in
the
GTA,
for
instance,
on
its
own
there's,
2.2
million
empty
bedrooms,
spare
bedrooms
speak
and
that's
what
we
mean
by
stuck.
Is
that
because
of
say
non
rental
opportunities
or
does
not
you
know
or
desirable
other
places
to
be
people
are
holding
on
to
this
bed
roots.
So
just
to
give
you
an
idea,
is
the
rental
market
in
the
city
demands
bedrooms
three
and
a
half
times
more
than
owners?
And
so
we
are
really.
You
know.
N
Hypothesis
would
be
that
if
you
want
to
try
and
get
yourself
into
a
suitable
home,
you
have
to
buy
it.
You
can't
rent
it
and
I
know
that
it's
a
great
Canadian
tradition.
It's
also
an
Australian
one
to
own
your
own
home,
but
times
are
changing.
Not
everyone
wants
to
actually
own,
they
actually
may
prefer
to
rent,
but
we
there
is
a
rich
data
set
there
that
we
could
help
to
demonstrate
to
you
how
significant
parts
of
the
city
are
squeezing
out
the
growth
that
wants
that
this
city
is
basically
attracting
okay,.
H
She's,
the
best
chair
of
any
standing
City,
my
one
question
and
just
the
talk
of
the
conversation
of
sorry,
the
conversation
around
bedrooms.
Your
report
states
that
there's
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
bedrooms
that
are
required
to
meet
the
overcrowded
conditions,
and
then
you
just
mentioned
that
you
have
2.2
million
surplus
bedrooms
that
that
are
sitting
empty.
There's,
no
rooms,
no
full-time
occupant
I,
didn't
get
that
information.
All
combined
together
in
this
report
was
it
in
there
at
all.
J
M
A
F
So
while
there
are
many
key
findings
and
projections
that
point
out
areas
of
concern
in
this
report,
I'd
like
to
focus
on
where
we
are
and
where
we're
headed
as
it
relates
to
ensuring
access
housing
for
a
city's
most
vulnerable
and
low-income
residents.
As
the
presentation
noted,
this
report
projects
worsening
conditions
among
those
already
severely
burdened
households
that
includes
low-income
households,
seniors
with
health
conditions
and
fixed
incomes,
lone
parent
families,
immigrants
and
households
receiving
social
assistance.
F
The
report
notes
that
87
percent
of
low-income
renters
are
presently
living
in
unaffordable
units.
That's
a
hundred
and
twenty-two
thousand
households.
If
we
continue
along
this
trajectory,
more
people
will
live
in
low-income
households
and
more
of
those
people
will
end
up
in
unaffordable
units.
So
that's
an
increase
in
poverty.
F
What
we're
seeing
is
individuals
and
families
are
stuck
in
unsuitable
conditions
waiting
for
social
housing.
We
know
the
wait
list
of
a
hundred
thousand
households.
The
projections
in
this
report
say
that
social
housing
will
grow
significantly
over
the
coming
years
and
another
aspect
of
the
report
that
wasn't
mentioned
in
the
presentation
is
housing.
Affordability
is
a
key
driver
of
homelessness.
So,
increasingly,
what
we're?
Seeing
in
the
shelter
sector
are
individuals
and
families
are
in
the
emergency
shelter
system
and
they
have
no
pathway
out.
F
So
what
this
report
makes
clear
is
that
the
city's
poorest
and
most
vulnerable
residents
are
being
abandoned
and
that,
if
there
is
not
immediate
fundamental
change
in
how
we
view,
invest
in
and
provide
housing
in
this
city,
the
nightmare
is
set
to
worsen.
What's
not
captured
in
this
report
is
the
amount
of
suffering
that
continues
to
plague
so
many
Toronto
residents
on
a
daily
basis,
due
to
a
lack
of
access
to
safe
and
affordable
housing
at
the
very
critical
end
of
the
housing
continuum.
F
When
we
talk
about
homelessness,
we
have
emergency
shelters
operating
up
against
a
hundred
percent
capacity.
Every
night
we
have
an
additional
a
thousand
people
being
where
housed
in
respite
facilities
with
lack
of
access
to
services
and
supports
they
require,
and
we
have
hundreds
more
families
and
individuals
that
being
kept
on
a
waiting
list
for
emergency
shelter.
So
I
think
we
need
to
step
back
and
think
about
the
fact
that
we're
running
a
waiting
list
for
emergency
shelter
in
our
city
and
how
bad
are
we
going
to
allow
this
to
get
before?
F
We
arrive
at
the
realization
that
we
are
in
a
housing
and
shelter
crisis
and
that
emergency
measures
are
required
even
for
those
who
managed
to
secure
housing
and
exit
homelessness.
I
can
tell
you
firsthand
because
I
work
in
the
shelter
sector.
It's
not
the
success
we
wish
it
were,
or
the
achievement
we
sometimes
portray
it
to
be.
The
unfortunate
reality
is
that
we
are
moving
people
out
of
homelessness
and
into
deep
levels
of
poverty,
and
this
is
happening
almost
a
hundred
percent
of
the
time.
Poverty
should
not
be
the
consequence
of
securing
housing.
F
Yet
here
we
are,
and
for
so
many
this
is
the
reality
of
living
in
Toronto
and
every
week
at
the
shelter
where
I
work,
I
watch
families
so
desperate
to
find
housing
that
they're
forced
to
spend
not
30,
not
50,
but
80%
of
their
monthly
income
just
to
pay
the
rent
and
every
week
I
watch
more
children
move
out
of
our
shelter,
knowing
that
they
probably
won't
have
enough
food
to
eat.
So
there
are
many
ways
we
can
measure
our
success
as
a
city.
F
In
my
opinion,
one
of
the
most
valuable
is
by
how
well
we
take
care
of
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
This
report
makes
it
crystal
clear
that
we
are
failing
and
that,
if
you
are
elected
leaders,
don't
exhibit
the
necessary
courage,
compassion
and
political
will
to
bring
about
immediate
change.
Things
will
get
worse,
futures
will
be
compromised
and,
yes,
more
people
will
die
homeless
on
our
streets.
H
You
very
much
and
thank
you
for
the
deputation
with
respect
to
immediate
actions.
The
report
is,
does
not
recommend
any
immediate
actions.
It
just
simply
is
a
snapshot
environmentally
telling
us
how
bad
things
are
and
that
if
we
don't
take
some
action
urgently
that
in
10
years,
we'll
be
in
in
worse
shape.
F
But
those
are
the
types
of
things
that
we
need,
and
you
know
I
I
think
you
know
when
we
talk
about
homelessness
and
I
know
that
there
was
a
long
debate
about.
You
know
whether
it
is
an
emergency
whether
it
fits
the
definition
what
that
will
accomplish,
but
you
know
we're
not
asking
to
declare
homelessness
and
emergency
to
solve
homelessness.
That's
not
the
purpose
of
declaring
an
emergency.
The
purpose
is
to
ensure
safety
and
to
save
lives.
F
Well,
we
get
to
work
on
the
things
we
need
to
do
to
ensure
access
to
housing
for
the
most
vulnerable
and
low
income
among
us,
because
more
and
more
people
are
falling
into
homelessness
and
the
people
that
we
see
in
the
shelter
system
falling
in.
They
have
no
pathway
out
so
until
we
can
build
them
pathways
out
and
build
the
housing
we
need,
which
we
know
takes
time
takes
other
levels
of
government
coming
to
the
table.
We
need
to
do
everything
we
can
at
the
city
to
keep
our
residents
safe
and.
H
H
F
So
I
think
when
you,
when
you
start
talking
about
consultations
who
you
need
to
consult
with
absolutely,
you
need
to
involve
the
people
who
are
on
the
frontlines,
the
people
with
lived
experience,
because
they
are
the
experts.
They
will
direct
you
and
inform
you
on
where
you
need
to
go
and
you
as
a
city,
I,
think
and
I
think
this
is
a
big
thing.
You,
as
a
city,
when
you
get
to
the
government
level,
you
need
to
show
the
vision
and
the
leadership
to
direct
senior
levels
of
government
right.
F
H
H
F
I
mean
I
think
as
long
as
the
you
know,
the
consultations
not
some
token
practice
that
you're
just
saying:
oh,
we
did
it.
We
consulted
the
community
and
we're
going
ahead
anyway,
but
I
think
it
would
be
very
useful
and
I
think
it
might
have
been
councillor
Bradford
who
asked
where,
along
the
housing
continuum,
should
we
put
our
energy?
Do
we
really
need
to
focus
our
attention?
F
I
think
that
those
consultations
could
be
critical
in
determining
that
because,
like
I
said
the
report,
it
shows
areas
of
concern
along
the
whole
housing
continuum
right,
but
I
think
in
terms
of
where
you
invest,
you
need
to
speak
to
the
community
and
figure
out
kind
of
where
the
greatest
needs
are.
Thank.
L
I'll
just
start
by
saying
it's
great
to
be
here:
I'm,
a
an
assistant
professor
in
geography
and
planning
at
the
University
of
Toronto
I.
Do
research
on
housing,
affordability
and
I
also
teach
the
intro
to
planning
course
so
I
brought
my
class
here
today.
I
think
it's
a
great
our
topic.
Our
topic
in
class
today
was
social
equity
and
right
to
the
city.
L
L
So
this
is
a
great
report.
First
of
all,
as
it
draws
attention
to
the
gap
between
existing
housing
supply
and
the
kind
of
housing
we
need,
existing
housing
costs
are
a
significant
deterrent
for
people
forming
new
households
in
the
city
or
moving
to
the
city
from
within
Canada
or
internationally
and,
as
the
other
deputations
have
shown,
have
a
kind
of
cascading
effect
on
the
kind
of
whole
spectrum
of
vulnerability,
especially
with
regards
to
equity
and
just
to
address
councilor
Wang
Tam's
question
about
data
and
yours
as
well.
L
Councillor
Bulow
I
think
that
you
can
order
custom
cross
tabulations
from
Statistics
Canada
they
get
at
some
of
these
intersectional
issues
of
equity.
It's
just
that!
You
have
to
do
it
ahead
of
time.
You
have
to
pay
a
little
bit
more
for
it,
but
I
have
some
of
those
and
happy
to
share
them
if
I
can
but
I'm
here
specifically
to
talk
to
the
second
point
in
the
staff
report
and
I'm
still
not
seeing
the
presentation
but
I'm
hoping
it'll
come
up
soon.
I
also
have
this
on
a
memory
stick
if
that
helps
so
sure.
L
Let's,
let's
address
housing
in
inequity,
as
the
staff
report
says
in
the
second
point,
but
here's
the
phrasing
of
the
rest
of
that
point.
It
says:
well,
the
city
has
seen
unprecedented
growth
during
the
last
decade,
new
development
and
neighborhood
revitalization,
it
has
primarily
in
ker,
occurred
in
the
city
core
and
along
major
transit
lines.
L
L
Our
residential
density,
I
should
say:
okay
great
here
we
are
so
okay,
so
this
is
where
people
are
currently.
This
is
like
the
centroid
of
every
dissemination
area
and
the
housing,
the
the
kind
of
like
population
density.
So
almost
I
just
wanted
to
also
point
out
that
you
know
it's
very
uneven
right.
L
So
it
gives
a
much
longer-term
picture
and
it's
quite
remarkable
that,
unlike
the
kind
of
most
recent
snapshot,
it
really
shows
that
the
greatest
population
loss
has
happened
in
urban
areas
in
the
neighborhoods,
specifically
in
the
kind
of
neighborhood
that
we
are
from
councillor
Bulow.
So
and
you
see
that
the
kind
of
losses
of
density
here
are
really
high
so
up
to
like
200
or
400
people
per
hectare
and
those
kind
of
targets
are
similar
to
the
kind
of
targets
that
we
have
for
subway
stations
and
growth
centers.
L
So
it's
quite
remarkable,
so
we've
lost
a
lot
of
population
in
neighborhoods
like
this.
It's
worth
reflecting
on
the
planning
goals
of
designating
residential
areas.
One
of
the
original
goals
of
residential
areas
is
to
protect
people
from
noise
and
air
pollution
from
traffic
danger
and
allow
them
to
live
with
access
to
amenities
like
street
trees
and
parks
and
libraries
and
schools
and
quiet.
L
L
This
statement
in
praten
statement
to
suggest
that
new
development
will
help
share
the
economic
and
social
prosperity
with
communities
of
lower-income,
transit,
poor
and
racialized
in
the
inner
suburbs,
and
it
goes
on
to
say
that
many
of
these
buildings
are
structurally
unsound
and
that's
a
bit
of
a
side
conversation
but
I
never
hear
anyone
talking
about
the
structural
soundness
or
energy
efficiency
of
old
houses
like
mine
that
are
over
a
hundred
years
old,
so
back
to
nodes
and
corridors.
There's
there
are
pockets
of
nodes
and
corridors
that
haven't
yet
seen
as
much
development.
L
It's
true,
but
often
those
are
the
same
pockets
that
have
a
lot
of
existing,
affordable
housing.
High-Rise
towers
tend
to
be
located
along
corridors
and
not
in
neighborhoods,
and
there
are
plans
of
the
cities
preparing
right
now
for
intensification
in
some
of
these
places,
including
Mount
Denis,
Downtown
Eastside
and
along
Eglinton.
I
can't
speak
for
them,
but
I
do
know
that
a
number
of
community
groups
and
residence
groups
in
these
areas
are
quite
concerned
about
the
impact
of
this
development
on
their
rents
and
the
affordability
of
their
neighborhoods.
L
Adding
new
condos
in
these
areas
will
most
more
likely
raise
the
land
prices,
the
commercial
rents,
etc
and
put
pressure
on
the
rents
as
well.
Despite
the
rental
protection
policy
and
the
statement,
and
the
staff
report
seems
to
have
this
benign
suggestion
that
the
answer
to
housing
inequality
is
to
sprinkle
every
node
in
corridor
benevolently
with
condos
and
ties
the
notion
of
community
amenities
with
development.
L
But
I
would
say
that
the
community
infrastructure
and
economic
and
social
strength
for
existing
residents,
particularly
tenants
and
the
most
housing
insecure,
is
not
necessarily
too
dependent
on
redevelopment.
But
in
fact
the
opposite
may
be
true
and
that
development
may
threaten
this.
So
City
Council
has
already
has
some
great
programs,
like
the
strong
neighborhoods
strategy
and
the
rental
replacement
policy
that
are
strengthening
these
neighborhoods
without
and
I'm.
Gonna
have
to
start
asking.
L
Is
the
last
slide?
Thank
you
so
much
given
these
patterns,
it
seems
that
the
imbalance
of
growth
is
not
necessarily,
then
the
statement
says
between
the
downtown
and
the
inner
suburban
nodes,
but
more
accurately,
characterized
as
an
imbalance
between
growth,
centers
and
neighborhoods
themselves.
If
you
look
at
the
where
the
population
has
been
lost
and
gained,
this
might
seem
like
a
small
difference
in
emphasis,
but
it
might
have
big
implications
for
the
types
of
policies
and
proposals.
Your
committee
might
consider
to
reach
your
goal
of
adding
new,
affordable
units,
while
also
protecting
existing
ones.
L
So
if
the
goal,
if
the
intensification
and
the
growth
plan
is
really
about
matching
people
to
infrastructure
and
amenities
for
more
sustainable
and
equitable
communities,
about
continuing
to
be
an
arrival
city
and
an
economic
engine,
perhaps
it's
time
to
direct,
affordable
housing
to
areas
that
have
lost
a
lot
of
people
rather
than
adding
density
to
currently
affordable
high-density
clusters.
Thank.
K
K
Want
to
start
by
saying,
I
thought
this
report
was
very
useful
and
laying
out
the
problems,
but
what
it
did
not
do
is
spend
much
time
talking
about
solutions.
Solutions
are
difficult,
okay,
I
mean,
let's
just
we
have
to
face
up
to
the
fact.
This
is
not
just
a
Toronto
problem,
there's
a
worldwide
problem
in
cities
that
are
growing
quickly
and
that's
partly
a
result
of
this
worldwide
population
growth.
That's!
But
it's
also,
coupled
by
the
fact
that
when
cities
are
growing,
then
population
tends
to
grow
faster
than
transportation.
K
And
so
we
have
a
problem.
That's
really
a
generational
issue,
because
people
that
are
my
son's
age
or
lower
are
find
it
increasingly
difficult
to
get
good.
High-Paying
jobs
and
people
that
are
in
my
age
tend
to
live
in
houses
where
we're
supported
by
the
Income
Tax
Act
to
stay
there.
The
Income,
Tax
Act
exemption
of
principal
residences
is
essentially
a
subsidy
to
stay
where
you
are
and,
and
so
this
generational
issue
is
as
a
serious
one.
It's
not
easy
to
change.
K
K
Frankly,
this
is
not
a
matter
of
opening
up
the
yellow,
so-called
yellow
zone
to
second
units.
We
need
third
units,
fourth
units
and
fifth
units.
My
son,
for
example,
lives
in
a
rental
building
and
your
award
councillor
Fletcher.
That
is
a
house
form
building.
It
looks
like
a
house
from
the
outside
people
walk
by.
They
think
it's
a
house,
but
inside
it
actually
has
eight
units.
K
Why
should
that
not
be
a
model
for,
for
everybody,
I
mean.
Why
should
we
regard
the
yellow
zone?
The
so-called
Rd
RS
RT
areas
as
areas
where
they
should
be
restricted
to
currently
one
or
potentially
two
units
well
I,
have
a
limit
on
the
number
of
units.
The
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
is
that
many
older
areas
of
the
cities,
the
annex,
Summerhill,
Rosedale,
single
family
housing,
coexist
with
three
four-story
apartment
buildings
that
coexists
with
housewarm
buildings
that
have
multiple
units.
K
K
The
city
can
do
things
like
relax
parking
requirements
for
rental
units,
which
makes
sense
because
after
all,
most
people,
especially
in
the
in
the
parts
of
Toronto
that
have
access
to
reasonably
good
transit,
they
will
tend
to
use
transit,
especially
if
they're,
low-income
and
so
do
not
need
the
parking
requirements
that
would
be
required
by
a
high-income
family.
The
point
I
want
to
emphasize
is
that
this
is
a
problem.
It
urgently
needs
policy
options
and
I
hope
that
you
will
asked
to
report
all
of
this.
A
B
Thank
you,
I
guess,
first
to
mr.
dad
in
the
presentation
there
was
the
the
table.
I
think
it
was
on
page
43
of
the
report
that
they
gave
us
in
the
report
which
showed
social
housing
just
basically
stopped
getting
built
in
the
early
90s,
and
that
if
the
trend
line
had
continued,
there
would
be
45,000
additional
social
housing
units.
Now,
that's
saying
is
that
exactly
correct
you
generally
buy
that
thesis
side.
I
B
Thank
you
very
much
to
mr.
Lin
turn.
Let's
talk,
yellow
belt,
so
first
of
all,
there
are
neighborhoods
within
our
official
plan
which
have
prevailing
characters.
You
didn't
start
my
time
so
I'm,
just
gonna
run
as
long
as
I
want,
which
have,
within
the
prevailing
characteristic
four-story
apartment
buildings,
triplexes
all
that
so
called
missing
middle,
which
we
I.
B
Okay,
I'll
accept
that
term
in
the
pre-war
city,
I
can't
help
but
notice
the
in
the
Ward
that
I
represent
I
have
two
portions
well
in
the
word
that
I
used
to
represent
I.
Don't
I'm
really
studied
it
so
much
in
the
new
half,
but
in
what
was
word,
14
I
have
two
basic
portions
one.
So
the
Queen
one
North,
the
Queen,
the
one
south
of
Queen
the
population
hasn't
been
declining
the
one
north
of
Queen
it
has.
It
falls
within
the
pre-war
housing
type.
B
Do
you
have
it's
entirely
permitted
the
within
the
character
that
you
can
have
four-story
apartment
buildings?
You
can
have
stock
townhouses.
You
can
have
triplexes
all
permitted.
So
are
there
other
neighborhoods,
where
you're,
seeing
where
there's
a
population
decline,
even
though
the
permissions
allow
the
housing
form
type
called
missing
middle
I.
E
E
We've
we've
gone
through
a
great
period
of
deconversion,
where
we've
lost
units
I,
either
units
or
rooming
houses,
where
we're
possibly
eight
or
ten
people
used
to
live.
You
have
two
or
three
people
living
now,
so
without
effect
in
in
some
of
all
I'll
say,
are
more
popular
from
a
real-estate
point
of
view
are
more
popular
neighborhoods.
Those
populations
have
have
stabilized
or
declined.
E
So,
overall,
we're
trying
to
you,
don't
permit
gradual,
not
not
kind
of
a
not
static
but
evolutionary
change
in
our
neighborhoods
and
direct
more
consequential
change
to
our
Main
streets
in
our
centers
and
that's
the
old
P
strategy
and
that's
what
we
have
maintained
for
quite
a
period
of
time,
both
prior
to
and
after
amalgamation.
So.
B
B
B
E
Unpack
the
whole
thing
and
come
at
it
much
more
incrementally
the
types
of
issues
that
are
being
raised
today
and
my
advice
would
be
to
unpack
it
and
go
at
all
of
the
various
demand
and
supply
factors.
So,
for
example,
we
can
tweak
permissions,
we
can
put
in
language,
sweets
and
second
sweets
that
gets
at
some
other
stuff.
We
can
make
it
we
can
press
on
on
our
Main
streets
to
make
it
easier
to
do
mid
rise
housing.
We
can
complete
planning
frameworks
in
major
growth
areas
to
encourage
housing
in
those
areas.
B
Final
question:
does
our
official
plan
create
sufficient
lands
to
meet
the
demand?
Sorry
sufficient
lands
to
meet
what
was
referred
to
in
the
submission
in
front
of
us,
the
natural
demand,
in
other
words,
do
we
have
lots
and
lots
of
land
still
set
aside
that
are
develop
a
developable
within
our
official
plan.
E
Yes,
in
our
analysis
that
we
produce
every
year
and
will
come
in
coming
to
this
committee
in
June,
but
last
year
its
analysis
showed
that
we
are
well
on
our
way
to
meeting
our
growth,
both
our
growth
and
forecasts,
93%.
In
fact,
of
our
growth
plan
forecast,
which
is
about
400,000
households
or
units
out
to
2040
1,
but
also
we
have
under
review
another
150,000
units
or
household
potential.
There
was.
H
B
E
E
Well
through
the
chair,
I
always
like
to
say
that
zoning
is
not
a
panacea.
We've
heard
that
in
the
last
exchange
with
councillor
perks,
the
the
certainly
zoning
you
can
set
the
table
with
zoning,
so
we
do
that
in
growth
areas
such
as
improving
or
updating
planning
frameworks
in
our
centers
in
our
avenues
and
putting
in
place
ultimately
as
a
bright
zoning.
So
you
you,
you
take
the
speculation
out
of
it.
People
know
what
they
can
build
and
what
they
can
achieve
in
those
areas.
E
So
in
one
way,
that's
an
indirect
incentive
to
to
be
able
to
bring
forward
investment
in
those
areas.
A
direct,
an
example
of
a
direct
financial
incentive
would
be
around
I'm
at
the
I'm
at
program.
If
you're
going
to
create
jobs,
for
example,
in
Scarborough
center
or
an
Etobicoke
Centre
in
North
York
Center
through
the
IMAP
program,
then
you
can
begin
to
create
that
synergy
for
people
to
actually
live
close
to
where
they
work
so
indirectly.
E
I
think
the
economic
incentives
provided
by
the
I
met
on
employment
will
help
us
with
our
with
our
housing
our
housing
objectives.
The
other
another
kind
of
micro
example
is
the
current
program
that
we
have,
with
with
second
units,
I
believe
they're
exempt
from
development
charges
and
laneway
Suites.
So
at
a
micro
level,
we
can
look
for
opportunities
to
provide
some
some
incentives
for
for
homeowners
and
others
in
our
neighborhoods,
who
just
need
that
little
nudge
to
get
over
a
line
to
make
something
economically
practical.
J
I
Absolutely
councillor
I
think.
The
important
thing
today
is
that
this
essentially
was
a
study
to
give
us
a
projection
as
to
what
we're
looking
at
today
and
into
the
future.
It
was
not
intended
to
be
a
diagnosis
with
solutions
or
programs
attached
to
it,
but
to
be
information
that
we
would
make
available
to
the
public,
in
addition
to
other
information,
as
we
begin
to
construct
a
plan
to
come
back
into
fall,
I'm.
J
E
Through
the
chair,
I
think
I'm
identifying
the
potential,
that's
there,
so
in
the
planned
potential
of
the
city,
more
than
accommodates
the
the
numbers
that
we
need.
But
when
you
unpack
it,
you
get
out
all
the
issues
that
were
in
the
presentation
and
others
have
raised
around
the
specific
areas
that
we
need
to
emphasize
to
really
make
that
potential
come
to
life.
I
think
that's
how
we
need
to
focus,
find.
J
I
Okay,
sir,
if
I
hear
your
question,
the
city
is
going
to
grow.
There's
really
in
this
study
demonstrates
is
it's
going
to
happen,
but
it
does
say,
though,
at
the
same
time
that
if
you
essentially
using
existing
policies,
we're
gonna
have
a
lot
more
deeper
need
across
the
whole
spectrum
of
need,
and
that's
one
of
the
issues
we've
got
to
come
back
with
in
the
fall
and
say
to
you,
even
though
you're
growing
we're
leaving
too
many
people
behind
and.
J
This
is
a
page
29
which
has
the
super
build
from
1960
to
1970.
Ninety
one
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
apartments
were
built.
That
was
called
a
limited
dividend
building
program.
Can
you
describe
that
quickly
and
is
there
any
I
mean
obviously
very
attractive,
considering
that
we've
not
got
anywhere
near
that
number
of
rental
units?
So
what
was
particularly
as
they're
ever
been
any
thinking
from,
and
you
know.
Obviously
we
didn't
have
to
do
that
to
stimulate
that
type
of
rental
building
it
yeah
I.
I
I
J
E
This
it's
in
general,
the
the
the
the
capacity
of
our
residential
fabric
to
evolve
over
time
is
there
without
throwing
out
the
prevailing
carrot
in
the
form
that
people
enjoy
in
our
neighborhoods.
So
whatever
we
can
do
to
accommodate
that
evolution
I
think
we
can
focus
on.
Certainly,
the
zoning
in
our
older
neighborhoods
is
quite
permissive,
much
more
permissive
in
other
areas
of
the
city.
G
Thank
you.
Through
the
chair,
we
heard
Paul's
comments
about
the
regional
aspects
of
our
housing
system.
The
province
just
released
terms
of
reference
for
the
TTC
upload,
and
that
has
us
kind
of
thinking.
What
work
are
we
doing
as
a
city
to
or
as
other
municipalities
in
the
area
coordinate
on
on
the
housing
front
and
I
guess
this?
Is
the
province
going
to
help
us
have
a
good
regional
governance
approach
in
that
sense,
but
are
we
coordinating
with
other
municipalities
with
respect
to
housing
through.
I
There
was
a
initial
number
of
meetings
and
we're
working
to
get
to
put
a
paper
together.
That
will
describe
the
situation.
Interestingly
enough,
as
you
would
know,
people
don't
you
know,
decide
to
live
in
Toronto.
They
live
within
the
region
and
they
commute
within
the
region,
and
so
we
are
very
interested
in
what
is
the
housing
snapshot
across
the
overall
region,
because
that,
essentially
is
the
housing
market.
I
G
H
A
long
time,
yes,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you,
staff
for
commissioning
the
report
and
also
to
incorporating
the
in
the
next
phase
of
work
to
be
done.
I'm
just
curious
to
know
with
respect
to
the
inter
division,
no
cooperation,
that's
required.
I
recognise
that
you'll
be
working
very
closely
with
City
Planning.
Are
there
any
other
divisions
that
you'll
be
working
closely
with
to
ensure
that
you
that
this
report
reflects
the
the
fullness
of
and
in
the
complexities
and
in
the
multiple
dimensions
that
it
needs
to
address?
H
I
Think,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
question
and
through
the
chair,
the
deputy
city
manager
is
essentially
has
an
inter
divisional
table
that
would
include
I
would
suggest,
probably
12
different
divisions
right
across
the
spectrum.
So,
while
we
have
been
essentially
standing
in
to
Commission
this
work,
the
the
work
is
being
done
at
a
very
high
level
with
all
of
the
different
divisions.
Thank.
I
We
have
had
representation
with
the
Social
Development
and
Finance
we'd
be
more
than
happy
to
bring
other
divisions
in
and
to
your
point,
with
respect
to
equity,
we
were
very
specific
with
the
consultants
that
we
wanted
to
drill
down
on
that
issue
and,
as
well,
will
be
a
feature
of
the
consultations
that
we're
going
to
be
rolling
out.
Okay,.
H
Thank
you
very
much
and
with
respect
to
I
guess
the
consultation
will
just
jump
there.
The
consultation
plan.
Do
you
have
a
sketch
of
an
idea
of
what
that
looks
like
do
you
have
a
timeline?
How
close
are
you
to
to
drawing
a
conclusion
on
over
the
next
9
10
months?
This
is
what
we'd
like
to
do
with
respect
to
the
public
facing
consultation
or
stakeholder
groups.
I
Through
the
chair,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Councilor
in
July
of
2018
City
Council
approved
that
directions
report
that
gave
us
directions
with
respect
to
how
to
go
forward
with
the
consultations,
and
we
expect
to
be
consulting
between
March,
April,
May
and
June.
And
then,
over
the
summer,
doing
the
analysis
and
coming
back
in
the
fall
has.
I
Through
the
chair
that
absolutely
there's
always
room
we're
looking
for
this
to
be
as
robust
as
possible
within
the
resources
that
we
have
available
and
we'd
be
open
to
suggestions
that
any
councillors
might
have
with
respect
to
the
plan.
Our
intention
and
we
were
meeting
with
as
an
example
our
resilience
office
and
they
had
reached
somewhere
in
the
range
of
about
seven
to
ten
thousand
Torontonians
we'd
like
to
try
to
reach
the
same
number.
I
H
Fantastic
and
then
finally,
the
the
picture
that
the
the
analysis
report
paints
is
quite
stark,
although
I
don't
think
it's
anything
that
anyone
who's
paying
closely
attention
to
the
crisis
on
the
ground
and
especially
for
not
for
those
who
are
living
with
experience,
it's
certainly
not
a
surprise
to
them,
but
as
as
no
by
the
consultants
report
and
I
think.
Even
in
the
conversations
that
come
out
of
this
committee
and
and
on
the
floor
of
counsel
oftentimes,
we
talked
about
needing
provincial
and
federal
participation.
I
That's
the
staff
report,
I'm
speaking
on
specifically,
but
we
have
had
informal
conversations
with
both
the
provincial
and
federal
governments
they're
very
interested
in
this
research,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
forecasting
forward
and
being
able
to
to
meet
the
demand,
needs
relative
to
the
population.
Okay,.
H
Thank
you
very
much.
I
missed
that
part
of
both
forming
the
report,
so
that's
great
and
their
their
interest
in
meeting
the
demand
needs.
How
would
that
be
expressed,
and
how
can
we
see
that
interest
like
what
would
it
look
like
in
terms
of
actions
and
where
will
be
the
follow-up
like?
How
do
we
follow
that
process?
What's.
I
A
E
The
report
that
we
produced
last
June
and
that
will
update
this
year
from
2001,
so
we're
looking
at
the
the
period
from
2001,
two
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
two
hundred
twenty
six
thousand
units
built
between
2001
and
2017
and
then
an
additional
hundred
and
forty-four
thousand
approved,
but
not
yet
built.
So
that's
when
I
say:
ninety-three
percent
of
the
growth
plan
forecasts
from
2001
to
out
to
twenty
forty
one
I'm,
adding
those
two
numbers
up.
We
built
a
lot
of
them
and
we
have
approved
and
not
yet
built
another
percentage.
So.
A
E
E
For
example,
how
can
we
provide
an
incentive
in
that
location,
I
would
suggest,
building
transit
to
that
location
would
would
begin
to
unlock
the
potential
and
a
lot
of
those
locations
so
on
and
on
the
influence
that
we
can
have
overall
on
various
demand
and
supply
factors
is
where
I
would
put
our
emphasis
and
importantly
on
the
continuum
looking
at
areas
where
we
have
to
directly
intervene,
because
the
market
just
isn't
playing
a
role
in
that
part
of
the
continuum.
Okay,.
A
Great
through
to
the
affordable
housing
office,
so
we
are
coming
to
an
end
of
a
ten-year
plan,
and
this
is
the
beginning
of
the
discussion
for
the
2020
2030.
So
the
next
10-year
plan
is
that
correct,
that's
correct,
and
can
you
go
a
little
bit
more
into
the
consultation,
because
I
know
that
there
has
been
given
some
direction
are
ready
to
the
office
to,
for
example,
consult
with
ninja
indigenous
communities?
There's
there's
already
some
set
targets
with
you
know:
front
frontline
staff,
for
example
like
there's,
there's
a
group
of
stakeholders
already
that
have
been
identified.
I
Thank
you
for
the
question
the
July
report
and
identified
a
range
of
equity
seeking
groups
that
will
be
involved
in
the
consultations.
There
will
be
a
Advisory
Committee
struck
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
that
will
include
persons
with
lived
experience
as
by
way
of
example,
there
will
be
meetings
in
all
of
the
community
council
districts
as
well.
I
There
will
be
a
particular
sector
meetings
with
groups
across
the
housing
continuum
and
we're
also
going
to
prepare
a
counselor
kit
so
that
the
counselors
can
be
involved
themselves
in
hosting
meetings
or
being
able
to
be
part
of
the
consultation
process
as
well.
In
addition
to
that,
they'll
be
outreach
with
other
levels
of
government
and
as
well
I
had
mentioned
the
the
fund
to
assist
groups
to
participate
in
the
process.
They'll
be
on
dedicated
phone
line,
a
dedicated.
I
There
is
already
now
a
dedicated
email
address
and,
as
I'd
indicated,
we
are
looking
to
reach
between
7
to
10,000
individuals
and
organizations
and
then
to
wrap
up
the
consultations
in
June
we're
planning
a
evening
forum
as
well
as
a
daytime
event
bringing
in
people
from
other
jurisdictions,
so
that
we're
learning
some
best
practices
around.
What's
worked
in
their
locations
relative
to
attain
your
plan,
I'll
say
this:
it's
no
mystery
or
it's
no
secret
that
in
the
first
10
years
of
our
plan
we
underachieved
what
we
set
out
to
do
so.
I
Not
only
do
we
need
to
do
better
now,
but
we
need
to
do
better
going
forward
because
the
challenges
that
are
set
out,
just
based
on
the
trends
and
what's
being
presented
to
you
today,
suggest
that
we
had
to
reverse
this.
We
need
to
take
stronger
and
more
concrete
action
than
what
we've
been
taking
so
far.
Thank.
J
Councillor
Fletcher
Thank,
You,
chair
I
have
to
leave
early
for
an
appointment,
so
I'm
going
to
speak
and
then
trust
that
you'll
all
be
supporting
this.
The
I
think
this
was
a
great
way
to
start
this
meeting
and
basically
start
our
committee,
because
there's
never
been
a
comprehensive
overview
of
where
we
sit
with
housing
and
some
of
the
challenges
that
we
have.
J
We
have
focused
a
lot
on
emergency
housing
and
supportive
housing,
but
regular
housing,
stock
rental
housing
stock
is
now
something
that
we're
truly
starting
to
look
at
and
what
the
challenges
are
and
I
think
we'll
be
talking
about
unlocking
the
potential.
What
we
need
to
have
what
incentives
are
available,
noting
that,
with
the
11
properties
that
the
city
will
put
out,
we
are
going
to
be
taking
great
strides
in
that
way
and
then
also
from
our
housing.
J
Now
we'll
be
discussing
with
TCH,
see
adding
how
to
add,
affordable
rental
into
the
revitalizations,
which
are
simply
at
this
point,
reconstructing
the
existing
housing
and,
as
we
all
know,
land
is
land
there's
no
more
of
it
once
you're
out
of
it
you're
out
of
it.
So
we
have
to
use
it
in
the
best
way
possible
and
the
largest
policies
that
we're
developing
and
have
developed
will
definitely
dovetail
with
what's
happening.
So
we're
really
making
the
ask
at
this
point
and
identifying
where
the
gaps
are.
J
So
there
are
incentives
we
can
look
at,
but
of
course,
national
housing
program.
How
we're
going
to
incentivize
and
find
dollars
for
affordable
housing
program
really
depends
on
other
levels
of
government
the
same
with
supportive
housing
I'm
glad
to
see
two
thousand
units,
but
we
know
that
that
certainly
isn't
enough
and
long-term
care
is
something
I
really
am
very
concerned
about,
because,
as
someone
mentioned
with
the
high
land
prices,
those
who
have
long
term
care
they
can't
rebuild
on
the
end,
they
can't
rebuild
it
because
of
the
built
form.
J
Issues
in
the
regulations
and
I
think
that's
something
we
have
to
tackle.
It's
not
just
about
sites.
It's
about
built,
form,
simply
says
you
can't
build
on
that
site.
You
know
digress
for
a
second,
we
have
a
site
at
Bridge
point
that
could
easily
make
itself
available
for
long-term
care,
but
the
regulations,
the
design
regulations
make
it
impossible.
J
To
put
it
there
and
I
think
one
of
our
goals
should
be
to
have
the
province
create
an
urban
form
for
long
term
care
where
we
can
build
long-term
care
in
the
City
of
Toronto,
and
that
should
be
a
goal
for
this
committee
and
a
goal
for
the
community
and
a
goal
for
others
and
I'd
like
to
work
on
that
and
that's
it.
So
congratulations.
That's
a
long
time
coming.
J
It
puts
housing
on
the
continuum
with
shelter,
supportive,
long
term
care,
rooming
houses
which
are
completely
under
control
for
licensing,
etc
and
zoning,
and
then
adding
in
the
challenge
of
building
new,
affordable
rental
housing
and
making
sure
that
we're
using
the
land
that
we
have
and
that
we
have
stewardship
over
and
that
we
also
have
zoning
control
over
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
Thank
you.
B
B
That's
about
half
of
the
current
waiting
list
for
affordable
housing
in
the
city
of
Toronto
that
simply
got
wiped
out
in
1993
when
the
federal
government
took
itself
out
of
the
housing
game
and-
and
there
is
frankly
no
bigger
influence
on
our
housing
market
for
the
lower-income
bands
than
that.
One
decision
I
think
we
have
to
foreground
that
underline
that.
Remember
that
and
fight
to
return
to
that
rate
of
social
housing,
construction
and
if
the
federal
government
doesn't
come
in
we're
going
to
have
to
look
for
innovative
ways
of
doing
it.
B
Maybe
it
is
time
for
public
banking
council
wrong
town.
Certainly,
we
are
going
to
have
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
lose
sight
of
the
fact
that
the
private
market
will
never
backfill
that
absence
and
we
have
to
find
a
public
sector
solution
or
we
are
not
talking
about
affordable
housing
for
people
who
live
in
the
bottom
to
income.
Quintiles
simply
won't
be.
There
is
no
market
solution
for
people
who
make
$60,000
a
year
or
less.
B
The
market
will
not
deliver
that
housing
and
providing
incentives
to
the
private
market
instead
of
doing
it
as
used
to
be
done,
means
that
you
not
only
have
to
put
public
money
in
but
you're
putting
public,
basically
to
backfill
the
private,
the
profit
margin
of
private
investors,
and
we
can
achieve
faster
and
quicker
construction
of
affordable
housing
units
without
having
to
backfill
that
profit
margin.
That's
what
the
experience
from
the
60s
to
the
90s
taught
us.
That's
the
lesson
that
we
have
to
remember
when
we
go
forward
now.
B
I
want
to
talk
about
the
the
next
sort
of
tier,
this
sort
of
middle-income
affordability
problem.
There
is
a
thesis
floating
around
I'll
call
it
market
urbanism
that
if
we
simply
remove
our
zoning
controls
in
certain
parts
of
the
neighborhood,
the
private
market
will
come
forward
and
offer
the
people
who
are
making
seventy
five.
Eighty
thousand
dollars
mid
income,
housing
kaboom
all
done
well,
except
the
evidence,
doesn't
support
it.
B
We
actually
have
areas
in
the
city
where
not
only
is
it
permissible
to
build
new
townhouses,
four-story
apartment
buildings,
walk-ups
all
that
missing
middle
stuff,
but
it's
already
built.
We
have
areas
where
it's
already
built
and
what
is
happening
in
those
areas
is
that
the
population
is
declining.
B
People
are
leaving
those
forms.
The
real
challenge
for
us
is
what
is
happening
within
the
private
housing
market.
That
is
seeing
rooming
houses
closed,
that
is
seeing
apartment
buildings
on
our
main
strip.
Artment
units
on
our
main
streets
above
stores
have
reducing
the
number
of
units.
What
is
happening
and
I
think
that
that,
frankly,
what's
happening
is
the
market?
Is
pricing
out
the
middle?
B
It's
not
a
matter
of
our
zoning
bylaws
failing
to
create
opportunities
for
the
middle.
It's
that
the
distribution
of
wealth
in
our
society
and
the
incentives
to
property
owners
are
actually
such
that
we
are
depopulating
the
areas
where
we've
built
the
right
form
and
simply
permitting
that
form
elsewhere
doesn't
change
those
market
dynamics.
B
What
we
should
be
doing
for
those
areas
is
not
trying
to
create
new
incentives
and
changing
our
zoning
bylaws.
We
should
be
fiercely
defending
those
multiple-unit
dwellings.
We
need
to
be
defending
rooming
houses,
legalizing
them
in
areas
where
they're
not
legalizing
them
and
putting
our
protections
for
tenants
onto
dwelling
rooms
as
we
currently
do
on
dwelling
units,
we
need
to
be
doing
those
kinds
of
things
if
we
want
the
private
housing
market
to
actually
continue
to
deliver.
Even
what
we've
got
now,
Thank
You.
G
I
think
what
we
heard
over
resounding
ly
this
morning
was
that
housing
is
a
system
and
we
need
to
approach
it
from
multiple
perspectives
and
that
that
was
a
big
takeaway
in
this.
This
report
there's
24
key
indicators,
and
many
of
them
are
highlighting
concerns
that
we
have
both
today
but
learning
looming
concerns
on
the
horizon.
G
I
think
the
questions
that
councilor
tam
was
asking
earlier
and
emphasizing
the
equity
piece
having
strong
metrics
to
ensure
that
we're
evaluating
this
and
how
we're
performing
on
many
dimensions,
especially
the
housing
equity,
is,
is
super
important
so
that
we
can
focus
our
efforts
and
know
where
we're
going.
We
do
see
these
sort
of
benchmarking
indices
on
other
reports.
The
TTC
CEO
report,
or
certainly
includes
these
sort
of
elements
and
I
think
once
we
have
that
ten-year
housing
plan
updated
and
in
place.
G
This
will
give
us
clear
guidance
on
how
we
ought
to
be
performing
on
key
indicators
like
the
wait
list
for
supportive
housing,
the
number
of
households
in
core
need,
or
simply
the
number
of
people
experiencing
homelessness.
So
that's
the
motion
I'd
like
to
bring
forward
and
appreciate
your
support
on
it.
Thank.
