TORONTO, Dec. 2, 2022 /CNW/ – Today, the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Housing and Diversity and Inclusion, alongside Julie Dabrusin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Member of Parliament for Toronto-Danforth, Mayor John Tory, and Jag Sharma, President and Chief Executive Officer of Toronto Community Housing (TCHC), introduced a mixed funding of roughly $98 million to assist the renewal and renovation of over 750 properties in Toronto.
The Government of Canada contributed almost $90.2 million via the National Housing Co-Investment Fund (NHCF), whereas the City of Toronto contributed over $8 million to the undertaking.
This historic land switch and renewal undertaking will present reasonably priced properties for a whole bunch of girls and their households, refugee households, and Indigenous Peoples in each city and suburban neighbourhoods throughout Toronto. The possession and operation of those properties have been transferred to 2 reasonably priced housing non-profits – The Neighborhood Land Trust and Circle Community Land Trust – to enhance tenant companies and make sure that the properties stay reasonably priced and well-maintained for years to return.
The renovation and renewal of the properties will happen over the subsequent 5 years, with completion anticipated by the top of 2027.

“This investment from the National Housing Co-Investment Fund is improving the economic and social well-being of hundreds of families across Toronto.

This helps makes all our communities better places to live as more families are able to find housing that meets their needs.” – Julie Dabrusin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Member of Parliament for Toronto—Danforth
“The Tenants First plan is delivering real and meaningful improvements for people in our city who rely on social housing with appropriate and critical supports. The transfer of the standalone homes portfolio as well as the new Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation means that Toronto Community Housing can now fully focus on its core mandate as a social housing landlord. I am thankful for the federal government’s significant five-year investment that will help bring these standalone homes into a state of good repair. As we continue to work with other levels of government and housing partners to develop more affordable housing, we must also ensure the existing housing stock in Toronto remains affordable, and that lower-income residents have healthy, safe housing options. This remains one of my top priorities. I am pleased that this transfer will help protect these standalone homes and bring them to a good state of repair for current and future residents.” – Mayor John Tory, City of Toronto
“To maintain its status as a leader on the national and global stage, Toronto’s housing supply must remain affordable for all its residents.

“The Neighbourhood Land Trust is honoured to be partnering with the YWCA Toronto, the City and CMHC to improve and steward this important social housing portfolio as permanently affordable housing on behalf of communities across the west end of Toronto. Through the co-investment of CMHC and the City, the Land Trust will be able to implement much needed repairs and sustainability improvements to 81 properties, benefiting 153 Toronto households.” – Ayal Dinner, Board President, The Neighbourhood Land Trust
“As a Community Land Trust, Circle will keep these homes permanently affordable for today’s tenants, and future generations. And with the significant funding and support from CMHC, we will be able to bring these homes into a state of good repair, and provide sustainability retrofits – resulting in secure, dignified, and environmentally responsible housing for our tenants. These homes are truly irreplaceable, and we are proud to be carrying them into the future. Circle would also like to acknowledge the support of Vancity Community Investment Bank, who funded the acquisition and made the transfer possible.” – Heather Tremain, Board President, Circle Community Land Trust
