      History

      In 1990, the Housing Operations Division succeeded the Social Housing Division and the Housing Policy Division in the Ministry of Housing.

      With the amalgamation of the Ministry of Housing and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs in 1995, the Housing Operations Division became a division in the new Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

      The Housing Operations Division remained in effect in the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing until 2001. In 2001 the functions of the Division were split between these newly formed divisions in the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing: the Planning and Development Division and the Social Housing Division.
