Affordability Gap<br />
• Significant housing<br />
affordability gaps<br />
exist for social<br />
assistance clients.<br />
• Example: a single<br />
ODSP recipient has<br />
income of $999 /mo<br />
– this leaves $300<br />
/mo. to spend on<br />
affordable housing.<br />
• Average market<br />
rent for a 1-bdrm.<br />
apartment is $573 –<br />
this leaves a<br />
shortage of $273.<br />
..and social housing<br />
is in short supply:
