Many initiatives are underway to address this crisis as it poses such a serious challenge to our City's social fabric and economic viability.

One of those initiatives is the Concept 2 Keys Priority Development Review Stream. The Priority Application Stream was launched as a pilot in January 2021 to focus on prioritizing and expediting approvals of affordable housing projects and In October 2021, City Council directed that the Priority Development Review Stream transition from a pilot to a permanent service. This program is critical to the City's efforts to increase affordable housing stock and to optimize federal funding for affordable housing in Toronto. On March 9, 2022, Council adopted measures to significantly strengthen this program. Monitoring how all of this is unfolding will help to make sure the program is as successful as it can be.
