Dear Head of Council/Chair of District Social Services Administration Board,
I am pleased to confirm there will be no changes to the Ministry’s policy direction on Service Manager Housing and Homelessness Plans. Please proceed with completing the review of your 10-year Housing and Homelessness Plan.
As you do so, I encourage you to consider the following provincial priorities and how they may be relevant to your local context and planning:
Our government recognizes the vital role Housing and Homelessness Plans play at the local level in supporting local strategic planning to address the critical housing and homelessness needs of communities. Thank you for your continued effort and diligence. Safe and stable housing is important for all people in Ontario, especially our most vulnerable.
I look forward to receiving your updated Housing and Homelessness Plans. Please submit your plan to your local Municipal Services Office by May 29th, 2026. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss your plan further, please do not hesitate to contact your local Municipal Services Office.
Thank you for your partnership in action to address the housing needs in your communities and to deliver more homes faster across the province, including for our most vulnerable.
Sincerely,
Hon. Robert J. Flack
Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing
