MFOA's Technical Response to the Housing Supply Action Plan



In November 2018, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing announced a consultation on increasing housing supply in Ontario. The consultation document asked for input on a number of key issues, including questions surrounding the relationship between development charges and housing supply. 

Through a series of online forums with members and consultation with key stakeholders, MFOA has submitted a technical response. MFOA has also submitted a joint response with the Ontario Regional and Single-Tier Treasurers.

MFOA's position on development charges is that:

  • Growth should pay for growth;
  • There should be no ineligible services under the DCA;
  • There should be no service “discounts”;
  • Service levels should be forward looking and not based on historic service averages;
  • There should be no new mandatory development charge exemptions.

For any questions about MFOA's technical response, please contact Colin Macdonald (colin@mfoa.on.ca).
