About Eric Lombardi

I am a finance and technology entrepreneur turned civic builder, and a leading voice on housing reform, institutional renewal, and economic opportunity for Ontario's next generation.

In 2021 I founded More Neighbours Toronto to confront Ontario's housing crisis head on. This organization has become the driving force in Toronto's housing zoning reform. In 2025 I became chair of Build Toronto, part of the Build Canada movement that has driven innovative policies adopted by the government. I have also volunteered my time with the Ontario Liberal Party, shaping their housing platform.

Raised in the Greater Toronto Area, I studied nanotechnology engineering at the University of Waterloo. I then built a career in technology and finance, including time in San Francisco, before returning home during the pandemic to be closer to family and the communities that raised me.

Today I am working to build an Ontario where people can once again afford a home, pursue a meaningful career, raise a family in security, and trust that public institutions actually work for them.
