The Ontario government is rewarding the City of Belleville with $1,240,000 through the third round of the Building Faster Fund, which provides funding to municipalities that achieve at least 80 per cent of their provincially designated housing targets. In 2025, Belleville broke ground on 418 new homes, exceeding its annual target by almost 35 per cent. The funding will help the City of Belleville build more homes and community infrastructure while advancing the province’s plan to protect Ontario by investing in projects that support economic growth and keep workers on the job.

The Housing Crisis won’t be solved by bigger bureaucracies and bigger budgets… Another day, another government program that promised the world but is struggling to deliver the basics. Australians were told Housing Australia and its $10 billion Future Fund would be a game changer. Instead, we are seeing questions around delivery, accountability and whether taxpayers are getting value for money. The reality is simple….you cannot fix a housing shortage by creating more government layers, committees and administration. You fix it by unlocking land, cutting unnecessary planning delays, encouraging private investment and letting the people who actually build homes get on with the job. The irony is that governments keep announcing “record investment” while everyday Australians are facing record affordability pressures. More spending does not automatically mean more homes. The housing crisis is a supply problem, not a lack-of-announcements problem. Australians need practical solutions, not political slogans and another expensive bureaucracy. Accountability matters. Outcomes matter. And taxpayers deserve better. #HousingCrisis #HousingSupply #TaxpayerValue #LessBureaucracy #EconomicResponsibility #AustralianFamilies
