The Province has a goal of building 1.5 million new homes in Ontario by 2034. Municipal housing targets were assigned to cities across Ontario to meet this target.
Mississauga’s housing target is 120,000 new units. A unit can be a single or semi-detached house, townhouse, apartment or other similar residential unit.
The Province did not set requirements for the type of units that have to be built to meet this target. They can be all single-family homes, all apartments or a mix of housing options.
The Province is tracking Ontario’s housing supply progress.
