News Anchor: Toronto City Council has approved a new affordable housing development aimed at easing the ongoing housing crisis. The project will include over 300 rental units, with 60% reserved for low-income families and seniors. Construction will begin later this year on a vacant lot in the east end, with completion expected by late 2026. The $88 million project will be funded through a combination of municipal investment and federal housing grants. Mayor Simone Ward emphasized the city’s commitment to accessible housing, noting that this project is part of a broader strategy to build 10,000 affordable units over the next five years. Some community members expressed concern over increased traffic, but the council confirmed plans to improve nearby transit access.
