The Social Housing Division was created in 1986 to replace the Community Housing Division (1982-1986). The Social Housing Division took over responsibility for developing, delivering and administering social housing from the defunct Community Housing Division.
Additionally, the Social Housing Division assumed management of several private sector housing programs previously under the administration of the Ontario Housing Corporation.
The Social Housing Division (or Wing) closed in 1990 when its functions were divided between the new Housing Operations Division (1990-2001) and the Ontario Housing Corporation.
