   Report | Municipal Profiles | Where's Home? Part 1

"Where's Home? Part 2" (November 1999) is an extension of the housing data collection and analysis project that commenced with "Where's Home? A Picture of Housing Needs in Ontario" (May 1999). With Part 2, there are now detailed profiles of housing needs over the last 10 years for 21 Ontario municipalities (cities, municipal districts and regions).

The 13 communities in Where's Home? Part 2 are Cornwall, Durham, Guelph, Kingston, London, Muskoka, Owen Sound, Sarnia, St. Catharines-Niagara, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Timmins and Windsor. The cities in the first part were Barrie, Hamilton-Wentworth, Kitchener-Waterloo, North Bay, Ottawa-Carleton, Peel, Peterborough and Toronto. Among the findings:

  • one in four tenant households are at risk of homelessness.
  • in most parts of Ontario, tenant incomes are falling even as rents rise faster than inflation.
  • about 16,000 new rental units are needed annually according to CMHC, but almost no new affordable rental housing is being built.
