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.
