Work begins to build public housing project near Toronto’s Trinity Bellwoods Park
On Monday, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow stood alongside federal officials at the site to promote the milestone for a project the city says will bring 74 new homes.
Construction work has commenced in Toronto for a new rent-controlled housing project situated on city-owned land adjacent to Trinity Bellwoods Park. On Monday, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow joined federal officials at the site to mark the beginning of this significant endeavor, which promises to deliver 74 new homes, many of which will consist of multiple units.
During her remarks, Chow emphasized the importance of transforming city-owned land into rental housing, specifically noting the inclusion of affordable and family-sized homes. By collaborating with Build Canada Homes, the city aims to address the pressing need for affordable housing, ensuring that individuals who contribute to Toronto's workforce can secure suitable living arrangements.
The project, located on a former city-owned parking lot, is being spearheaded by Toronto's CreateTO division, with financial support from the federal government's Build Canada Homes initiative.
