    <p><strong>26 OCTOBER 2022</strong> — The Waterloo Region Home
      Builders’ Association (WRHBA) and the Ontario Home Builders’
      Association (OHBA) supports the introduction of the Ontario
      government’s new, once-in-a-generation housing plan. The <em>More
        Homes, Built Faster Act</em> will make it easier to build new
      homes faster, reduce housing costs, cut red tape and enable the
      construction of the 1.5 million new homes needed in the next
      decade; ultimately increasing supply and bringing affordability
      back to the province.</p>
    <p>On average, 25% of the cost of a new home is composed of
      government fees, taxes, and charges. This can add as much as
      $250,000 to the price of a typical single-family home, and
      municipalities add more than half of that. Housing approvals take
      longer in Ontario than in any other jurisdiction in North America.
      In some municipalities, it can take almost three years to approve
      new housing projects, which adds a further $50,000 to $100,000 in
      costs to new homeowners.</p>
    <p><strong>The <em>More Home Built Faster Act</em></strong> will
      help get Ontario back on track towards housing affordability by
      addressing the core underlying problem, a lack of housing supply.
      By incentivizing municipalities to meet legislated timelines for
      new housing approvals, adding more transparency on the municipal
      fees and charges imposed on new homebuyers and designating more
      lands for growth, the province is taking the bold action needed to
      build more homes so that future Ontario families have a better
      shot at the dream of homeownership.</p>
    <p>“The current housing supply and affordability crisis is a
      man-made problem that was created in the course of a decade and a
      half and will take time to fix,” said Luca Bucci, CEO of the OHBA.
      “It starts with Ontario’s new big, bold housing plan. The <em>More
        Homes, Built Faster Act</em> increases accountability for
      municipalities in enabling the construction of housing supply the
      province needs, increasing transparency on the funds collected on
      the back of new homes, capping fees to the economic conditions of
      the day and removing roadblocks to adding gentle density. Put
      simply; the government has delivered the regulatory framework to
      enable necessary change.</p>
    <p>The measures the province has brought forward will help preserve
      the competitiveness of Canada’s economic engine and ensure more
      Ontarians have a better shot at finding a place to call home where
      they can live, work and play.</p>
