Councillors approve action plan to build 120,000 new homes over 10 years, but Mississauga mayor warns the province’s assigned target will fail without funding for infrastructure
options in neighbourhoods currently restricted to single-family homes and legalizing rooming houses across the city.
Speaking to media, Ms. Crombie noted focusing on building single-family detached homes is no longer sustainable because the city doesn’t have enough land and there needs to be a shift to multi-unit housing, though that doesn’t always mean “megatowers.” “We cannot do this alone. Cities can put our foot on the gas, but we need fuel in the tank in order to cross the finish line,” Ms. Crombie said. “This is a massive undertaking and will only succeed if the provincial and federal levels of government join us as partners by providing the proper funding for infrastructure.”
