After months of sitting on the province\u2019s most up-to-date housing numbers, the government has finally updated the housing supply progress tracker, showing that the province is nowhere near meeting their target to build 1.5 million homes by 2031.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Premier and this government have no one to blame but themselves,\u201d said NDP Leader of the Official Opposition Marit Stiles. \u201cOntario is falling behind other provinces because they are refusing to act. We need ambitious policies \u2013 like our Homes Ontario plan \u2013 to bring back hope to our province.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe status quo is not working. We need a plan that boosts housing supply and gets the government back in the business of building homes, and protects tenants from sky-high rent hikes. The private sector alone cannot get us out of this mess, this is an all-hands-on-deck moment. It\u2019s about time the Ford government started taking Ontario\u2019s housing crisis seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ontario NDP has also written to the Financial Accountability Office to conduct a comprehensive review of Ontario\u2019s housing progress.<\/p>\n
