Some notes on today’s column, which looks at provincial contributions to affordable housing funds. Consistently, the feds and the city are putting up way more cash than Queen’s Park.
Here’s the Housing Secretariat’s ten-year capital plan. City: 46%; Feds: 52%; Province: 2%.

And here’s the TCHC capital repair backlog, fixing up the existing stock of subsidized housing. City: $1.6 billion; feds: $1.1 billion; province: $4.1 million.
Then there’s the $25B+ Housing Plan that seeks to build 40K units by 2030. So far, the city has found more than $5.5 billion, the feds are in for at least $1.5 billion. The province? $148 million, so far.
