The federal government will make a housing announcement in Toronto on Friday, October 16, according to a media advisory issued by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation on October 15.

MP Chi Nguyen, who represents Spadina-Harbourfront, is scheduled to appear on behalf of Gregor Robertson, the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure, alongside Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. The event is set for 1:30 p.m. ET at 364 Richmond Street West.

The advisory did not spell out the substance of the announcement ahead of time. Housing announcements of this kind in Toronto have typically involved federal funding for new homes or supportive housing delivered with the city as a partner.

OTMedia will update this story once the details are announced on Friday.
