Located in the heart of Parkdale, 11 Brock Avenue is designed as a sanctuary for those at risk of or experiencing homelessness. In collaboration with the City of Toronto and PARC (Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre), this project will offer 42 new rent-geared-to-income and supportive homes, fostering community connections and promoting well-being. PARC, a dedicated community organization, will manage the building, ensuring it remains a place of refuge and support for the Parkdale community. Set to complete in 2025, this development prioritizes sustainability with zero carbon emissions and low-carbon construction. #Parkdale #AffordableHousing #Toronto https://lnkd.in/gVeChTwP

The City of Toronto’s Confronting Anti-Black Racism (CABR) Unit is working to address the increasing housing disparity and displacement by developing a targeted Black Housing Framework. In collaboration with CP Planning, the CABR Unit has partnered with the ULI Toronto and ULI’s Terwilliger Center for Housing in Washington to launch a Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) research initiative. The goal of this TAP is to explore strategies for enhancing affordability and reducing the displacement of Black renters in Transit-Oriented Development and the renewal of private rental towers in Toronto communities, such as Jane and Finch. Richard Joy, Executive Director of ULI Toronto, invited Associate Camille Mitchell to participate as a stakeholder in the TAP. Camille contributed to assessing key issues of the TAP by engaging with local community members and professionals involved in shaping the built environment. The exchange of knowledge and expertise from these discussions is expected to have a lasting impact at the local level and serve as a model for other cities facing similar housing challenges. https://lnkd.in/gR--RcGF

Together with Two Steps Home and CABN, we're advancing a regenerative solution to Toronto's housing crisis. Our Cabin Communities project offers safe, private, and comfortable transitional homes designed for quick deployment on vacant city lots. These 8.8-square-meter units form a community with shared spaces, providing essential services and support. As we work to bring this innovative model to life, we're committed to transforming unused land into vibrant, temporary housing communities that offer dignity, security, and a path to permanent housing for unhoused Torontonians. https://lnkd.in/gbayNSaG
