York Region has more than doubled its funding from $14.5 million to $30.2 million to support non-profit and co-operative housing organizations across York Region.

York Region is committed to building inclusive, sustainable communities by expanding housing options and supporting partners through initiatives like the community housing supply grant, York Region chair and CEO Eric Jolliffe said in a news release.

“Building on the success of this pilot program, York Region will make it permanent in 2026,” Jolliffe said. “These efforts are helping to create a more resilient future for all residents by providing housing solutions for individuals of all abilities, incomes and life stages.”
