Ford government silent on housing tracker update
Ontario housing tracker: see how municipalities are meeting homebuilding targets Check the latest data and funding updates as Ontario’s plan faces scrutiny
The Ontario government is not saying whether it will keep updating its housing tracker, a tool it launched in 2023 to monitor municipal progress toward homebuilding targets.
The tracker was part of the Ford government’s effort to speed up construction and support its goal of 1.5 million new homes by 2031. It initially included regular updates and tied funding incentives to municipal performance, but the latest published data still appears to be from 2024.
The article says the province has not answered questions about the tracker’s future, even as it continues to hand out cash to municipalities that meet housing goals. Opposition parties criticized the delay, saying it avoids accountability as Ontario continues to lag behind on housing starts.
