Moise spoke with STOREYS about housing in Toronto, and his plans to create a safer and more affordable city. ChrisMoiseTO | cityoftoronto | realestate realestatenews affordablehousing
and a former healthcare worker, police officer, and public school trustee, Chris Moise has stepped into his new post with fresh enthusiasm for the chronic problems facing Toronto Centre and the city at large. And he has a lot to say about housing, which should come as no surprise. Ward 13 is in the centre of it all — affordability challenges, vulnerable populations,— each issue layered over the next “like an onion,” he says. In a manner of speaking, Moise has his work cut out for him.
It’s no secret there’s a housing crisis across the city and more broadly across the province. I’ve said in my platform, we need affordable housing, we need co-op housing, we need rental housing, and we need also condos because condos are how young people get into the market. This is not only a Toronto issue, but a broader issue. I think it’s important other municipalities build housing that is needed, but also wrap-around services too. If you need a withdrawal management service or even a safe injection site — these are things people need in their communities so they are safe. Housing is definitely a very important piece of it because housing builds communities.
We need to build more supportive housing because people who are un-house for more than five years don’t have the skill set to actually remain housed. We need transitional housing, and we need to be supporting the social agencies that can support these people.I know the City is looking to give Toronto lands to non-profit organizations so they can build affordable housing — and I support that. But one of the concerns I have is with Bill 23.
