History
With the passage of the Social Housing Reform Act, 2000, the provincial government transferred funding and administration of provincial social housing programs, including non-profit and cooperative housing, to municipal service managers, effective January 1, 2001. The Social Housing Branch, along with the Market Housing Branch, replaced the former Housing Policy Branch within the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. As part of the social housing devolution process and ministry reorganization, the Social Housing Branch was named Non-Profit and Market Housing Programs during 2000-2001. In 2002, the program was split into the Market Housing Branch and the Social Housing Branch.
