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 commenced in Toronto on Monday to build new rent-controlled housing on city-owned land near Trinity Bellwoods Park. Mayor Olivia Chow joined federal officials at the site to announce the start of a project that will result in the creation of 74 new homes, many of which will consist of two or three units. Chow emphasized that "Today, we're turning City-owned land into new rental housing, including affordable and family-sized homes," and explained that the collaboration with Build Canada Homes will help deliver the housing Toronto needs to ensure that people who work there can afford to live in the city.
The site, a former parking lot owned by the city, is being developed by Toronto's CreateTO division, with funding provided by the federal government's Build Canada Homes program.
