Why is it important to “right-size”?
• There are thousands (1,000s) of people waiting for social housing in
need of larger bedroom sizes
• There are many TCHC tenants living in underhoused situations.
• There are laws that TCHC must comply with as a housing provider
(including overhoused right-sizing)
Overhoused Tenants are those living in units with more bedrooms
than allowed for the number of people living in the Unit.
Over Housed Process: Definition and Rules
“Overhoused” households are those that have more bedrooms than are allowed for the number of
authorized Household members living in the Unit. The Housing Services Act and City of Toronto local rules
require such Households to transfer to a correctly sized unit.
See the City of Toronto’s RGI Administration Manual <https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/community-partners/social-housing-providers/rent-geared-to-
income-administration/>.

Reviewing
Solutions
TCHC tenants who have been paying market rent for more than 12 months have the right to return to a
market rent replacement unit. However, TCHC has not constructed market rent units in Regent Park, and
has therefore not been able to offer a new unit to these tenants. We are working with the City of Toronto to
explore a solution to offer replacement units to these tenants in our last Phase 3 building, Block 16N (beside
the Aquatic Centre, at the Corner of Sumach and Oak St).
