Building Affordable Rental Housing in The City of Toronto

This research makes the argument for increasing private sector participation in affordable housing development in the City of Toronto. It explores the demand for
affordable rental housing in Toronto, examines the national, provincial and municipal  legislative situation affecting Toronto and demonstrates the potential for the
municipality of Toronto to update and implement policies to produce more affordable  housing with private sector developers. Policies used across Canada and the United  States to encourage or require affordable housing contributions from private sector  developers are explored and case studies of Vancouver, Montreal and San Francisco  highlight how municipalities facing similar housing pressures have attempted to  address their situations.
