Through its programs and services, the Ministry of Community and Social Services:
helps adults with a developmental disability live, work and participate in a range of community activities,
enforces support orders issued by the courts so that families get the money to which they are entitled,
promotes accessibility and works to break down barriers that prevent people with disabilities from fully participating in the social and economic life of Ontario, and
helps Ontarians recover from hardship and regain control of their lives.
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing's goal is an Ontario made up of safe and strong urban and rural communities with dynamic local economies, abundant greenspace and a quality of life that is second to none.
The ministry works to strengthen Ontario communities by promoting a housing market that serves the full range of housing needs, protects tenants, and encourages private sector building. The ministry also provides opportunities for supportive programs for low-income tenants and housing for special-needs tenants, and supports the creation of affordable housing.
