Because affordable housing is finally, really, truly happening
More than 10,000 units are in the works across Toronto right now
Homes, gas, food—the price of everything in this city is up. But finally, after decades of lip service and NIMBYism, real change is afoot. In November, the city adopted inclusionary zoning, a policy tool that requires new condos near major transit stations to make a portion of their units affordable. The sites shown here are just some of the projects under way, many of them offering mental health supports, food-security programs and other social services. The tally is 10,000 units—and counting. Together, these developments represent a crucial step in making sure every Torontonian has a place to rest their head.
