WHEREAS Ontario faces an affordable housing crisis; and
WHEREAS inclusionary zoning laws have helped create affordable housing and alleviate poverty in more than 200 communities across the United States; and
WHEREAS research by the Wellesley Institute, ACORN Canada and the Furman Centre have shown that inclusionary zoning could create thousands of
affordable housing units a year in Ontario, without significant impact on the production of market housing, and without any cost to the taxpayer;
THEREFORE WE, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to enact a law empowering municipalities across the province to pass
inclusionary zoning bylaws, which mandate that a specified percentage of new residential developments include affordable housing units.
