Ontario’s Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Steve Clark, had a press conference on March 30th to speak about the "More Homes for Everyone" Legislation.
This legislation will target 3 areas of the government to try and mend the issue of housing shortage in Ontario. This plan hopes to shorten wait times for nessecary approval as well as to lessen the rules and formalities that come with building.
"More Homes for Everyone proposes smart, targeted policies for the immediate term that will make housing fair for hardworking Ontarians and get all types of housing built faster for those who need it and who wanted,” Clark said
“And we’re doing our part to unlock and fast track housing. That’s why effective January 1 2023. Our government commits to providing comments within 45 days to any applications for housing developments across all ministries. Over the long term.”
