Скачать или смотреть Did You Know? Toronto Built One of Canada’s First Public Housing Projects

Long before the housing crisis of today, Toronto was already asking the same question:
How do you make homes affordable for everyone?

In the early 1900s, the Toronto Housing Company was founded to tackle overcrowding and poor living conditions in the city. Backed by civic leaders and reformers, it became one of Canada’s first affordable housing initiatives, building model homes that aimed to combine comfort, design, and social progress.

More than a century later, its story still echoes through Toronto’s housing debates — reminding us that the dream of accessible living has always been part of this city’s history.
