Homelessness Ends with Housing Act, 2025
Sponsored by Lee Fairclough LIB
44th Parliament, Session 1
About this Bill
TL;DR
- • Legally requires the government to create a homelessness elimination strategy
- • Includes annual public reporting and accountability requirements
- • Does not allocate specific funding or guarantee housing units
- • Creates a framework and accountability mechanism, not direct housing commitments
Requires the provincial government to develop, publish, and publicly report on a strategy to eliminate homelessness in Ontario, including measurable targets, timelines, and annual progress reporting.
Critics note the bill mandates the creation of a strategy but does not allocate specific funding, guarantee housing units, or set binding targets. Supportive housing advocates argue that a legislated strategy with public reporting creates meaningful accountability even without direct spending commitments.
