Toronto Community Housing is taking action to improve its housing and make it greener. Clips from a media event showcasing the efforts. Municipal Affairs Minister Jim Watson.

You're right - many tenants live in unacceptable conditions. Problem is Toronto Community Housing has a $350M capital repair backlog from when province downloaded social housing (2001). But we're taking action to improve things for tenants - $550M for repairs since 2002, $1M/year on pest management, $13M/year on community safety/development, and now $111.5M investment in better housing/buildings. To finish the job, we'll need more financial support from all levels of government.
