Wondering if the $125-million program over five years “to further encourage the construction of new rental apartment buildings” could be expanded to help empty-nester Boomers to build legal rental basement apartments. There are many Boomers with children grown and gone who live in large homes near colleges, universities and high schools. This could help alleviate the drive/need for parents of foreign students who are looking for housing for their children when their kids come to Toronto to study.  This would also help Boomers to stay in their homes longer and remain connected to their communities while serving to quickly assimilate foreign students to Canada.
