Public housing strengthens communities and powers economies
The GTHA Community Housing Collaborative unites the region’s six largest providers to advance public housing as essential economic infrastructure.
THE OPPORTUNITY
First-of-its-kind analysis identifies public housing as a major driver of economic growth for the GTHA:
Nearly $3 of value back for every $1 invested
Almost $50 billion added to the economy in GDP
Up to 15,000 jobs created every year by 2050
Economic impacts of renewing and expanding public housing over 25 years
FEATURED REPORT
The Public Housing Dividend
Quantifying the economic opportunity of public housing investment
As its first joint initiative, the Collaborative has released a study that measures the economic, fiscal, and social returns of public housing investment across the GTHA.
The results are clear: sustained investment in renewal and new supply generates outsized, compounding returns. Reduced investment carries measurable costs.
What happens when we invest in public housing—and what happens when we don’t?
