TORONTO — Advocates and experts say while there is no single solution to the homelessness crisis… prefabricated homes could play a significant role in addressing the shortage of affordable and supportive housing. “The modular definitely helps because the faster construction is, the least expensive it is,” Andrea Adams, the executive director of the non-profit developer St. Clare’s said. …Ontario’s housing crisis has been an ongoing issue for years, and some experts say modular housing could play a crucial role in addressing the problem. …Prime Minister Carney promised a housing plan that would yield 500,000 new homes annually and provide $25 billion in loans for companies that make factory-built homes. Carney said he aims to create an “entirely new Canadian housing industry” around modular housing, using Canadian lumber, skilled workers and technology. Ontario Premier Ford also promised $50 million to support modular housing technology.
