10-year capital plan
Toronto Community Housing is committed to preserving, restoring and breathing new life into our buildings. TCHC’s rolling 10-year Capital Plan takes a portfolio-wide approach to repair, renew and modernize buildings and enhance living conditions for thousands of tenants in buildings across the city.
Funding
TCHC is able to adopt and implement multi-year, portfolio wide approach to its rolling 10-year Capital Plan with two key streams of capital budget funding:
Federal National Housing Strategy Funding
In 2019, the National Housing Strategy (Canada Mortgage and Housing Company) announced its commitment to provide TCHC with $1.34 billion in capital repair funding from 2019 to 2027, alongside stable funding commitments from the City of Toronto.
Municipal City of Toronto Funding
The City of Toronto is committed to providing TCHC with stable capital funding each year until 2027, in alignment with National Housing Strategy agreement. The City of Toronto and TCHC review the capital budget annually and identify municipal funding requirements to achieve capital planning targets.
Capital Planning Goals
With a fully funded Capital Plan, TCHC is able to align its capital planning goals with the targets set out by the National Housing Strategy and the City of Toronto in our funding agreements:
Facility Condition
- Achieve portfolio wide average 10% Facility Condition Index by end of 2026
- Prevent any further permanent unit closures
Energy Performance
- Reduce energy consumption by 25% by end of 2028
Accessibility
- Implement accessibility improvements to 20% of units by the end of 2028
