Add StudioX as a preferred source on GoogleFederal, provincial and territorial ministers responsible for housing and homelessness met in Toronto on November 13 to discuss the pressures facing communities across Canada.
The meeting was co-chaired by federal Housing and Infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson and Ontario Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Rob Flack. Their joint communiqué says ministers discussed housing supply, homelessness and measures announced in the 2026 federal budget.
The federal budget describes $44.7 billion over 11 years in housing and homelessness-related spending aimed at increasing non-market housing and supporting efforts to end homelessness. The communiqué outlines government proposals and coordination rather than a verified count of new homes delivered at the meeting.
Local governments, housing providers and communities will be watching how funding agreements and delivery programs develop. Specific projects and timelines will require separate confirmation from the agencies responsible for implementation.
