  • Keep TCHC Tenants Housed: Show Your Support for an Eviction Moratorium

    Advancing Housing Stability: Proposed Eviction Moratorium at City Hall

    As Toronto continues to face a deepening housing crisis, an important motion is moving forward that could provide immediate relief to some of the city’s most vulnerable tenants.

    Between 2023 and 2025, evictions in Toronto Community Housing have increased by more than 100%, harming the most vulnerable communities in the city. Evictions from social housing disproportionately impact Black, Indigenous, racialized, and low-income tenants, as well as seniors, families, youth, and persons with disabilities.

    A recommendation has been advanced for the implementation of a moratorium on arrears-related evictions in Toronto Community Housing, proposed to take effect from July 30, 2026 to November 15, 2026. This temporary pause is intended to create the necessary space for City Council to review and adopt a comprehensive, equity-focused plan to address the alarming rise in evictions across the system.

    This recommendation will be considered by the Economic and Community Development Committee on April 9th, 2026, marking a critical opportunity for residents, advocates, and community leaders to engage in the decision-making process and push for meaningful action on housing stability and equity.

  • Eviction Crisis in Social Housing: An Analysis

    Analysis of Evictions from Social Housing

     

    This analysis is based on data obtained through FIPPA Disclosure LTB-25-033-F (Access Decision dated January 22, 2026), alongside publicly reported figures. It identifies significant trends and reporting discrepancies in eviction data affecting Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) tenants.

    Evictions Have Increased Dramatically

    Even using TCHC’s own reported figures, evictions have more than doubled in just two years, while the total number of tenant households has declined.

    Evictions from social housing increased by over 100% in two years, alongside the persistence of “hidden evictions”,  including coerced lease removals and informal displacement that never appear in official statistics.

    Evictions trigger homelessness, family separation, long-term trauma, and deep community destabilization.

    Social housing evictions are preventable.

     

    Highest Post-Moratorium Evictions on Record - 2023. 

    • Evictions recorded by Tribunals Ontario (2023): 624

    • Evictions publicly reported by TCHC (2023): 162

    • Difference: 462 additional households

    Percentage Increase:
    (462 ÷ 162) × 100 = 285% higher than publicly reported by TCHC.

    2023 represents the worst post-moratorium year for TCHC tenants.
