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 (1885-1995) and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.
