History
"The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing was established in 1981 from the amalgamation of the Ministry of Housing (1973-1981) with the municipal affairs functions of the Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs (essentially the Office of the Assistant Deputy Minister - Municipal Affairs and the Local Government Division).
Administratively, the Ministry consisted of the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Deputy Minister, and four Assistant Deputy Ministers. The four areas over which the Assistant Deputy Ministers were responsible were: Land Development (renamed Real Estate in 1983); Community Planning; Municipal Affairs; and Community Development.
Agencies which reported to the Ministry included the Ontario Land Corporation, the Ontario Mortgage Corporation, and the Ontario Housing Corporation.
The Ministry existed until 1985, when it was divided to form the Ministry of Housing (1985-1995) and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs." (Source: Archives of Ontario: Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing 1981-1985)
"The branches of the Ministry were grouped together under the administration of either the Deputy Minister or one of three Assistant Deputy Ministers. The divisions over which the Assistant Deputy Ministers presided were the Corporate Resources Management Division, the Housing Policy Division (renamed the Housing Planning and Policy Division in 1993), and the Housing Operations Division (originally named the Social Housing Division).
In addition, several agencies reported to the Legislature through the Minister of Housing. These included the Ontario Housing Corporation, the Ontario Mortgage Corporation, the Residential Tenancy Commission, the Residential Rental Standards Board, and the Rent Review Hearings Board.
The Ministry continued to exist until 1995, when it was re-joined with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs to form the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (1995- )." (Source: Archives of Ontario: Ministry of Housing 1985-1995)
