Affordable Housing Should Be a High Priority for the Next Provincial Election

Millennials are now the new home buyers. Unfortunately, what most millennials are now looking for in a home, isn't available to them in Toronto.

This could mean that the next political party that vows to focus on the affordability of homes in the next upcoming provincial election, could be victorious, as one third of Ontarian believe housing is a key issue. Data collected from an Ipsos poll of 2,003 participants, which was presented at OREA's Ontario Housing Summit revealed:

• 60% would support a party that will focus on housing affordability
• 28% of millennials don't deem it as important as issues such as jobs, healthcare, taxes, and hydro.

The Ontario Housing Summit focused on the wants and needs of millennials, including the struggle with supply, down payments, and mortgage affordability.
