History
The Housing Policy Branch was established in 1991 within the Ministry of Housing, replacing the former Housing Supply Policy Branch. It formed part of the Housing Policy Division.
In 1995 the branch moved to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and became part of the Housing Policy and Programs Division. Later it was moved to a centralized Policy Division.
The Housing Policy Branch was disbanded in 2000 with the passage of the Social Housing Reform Act, 2000. The act transferred funding and administration of provincial social housing programs, including non-profit and cooperative housing, to municipal service managers effective January 1, 2001.
