The Community Renewal Branch was initially the Urban Renewal section in the Community Planning Branch of the Dept. of Municipal Affairs. In April l972 it was transferred to the Municipal Subsidies Branch of the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs, where the section was known as the Project Development Group in 1973. Community Renewal was established as a separate Branch in 1974 within the Ministry of Housing, where it formed part of the Community Planning Wing.
The branch was transferred to the new Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in 1981 and became part of the Community Planning Programs Division. In 1985, it was transferred to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and again became part of the Community Planning Wing.
In 1990, the Community Renewal Branch ceased to exist when its functions were adopted by the Community Development Branch.
