Toronto social housing complex revived after standing empty for 18 years
ETOBICOKE — A Toronto community housing complex will soon be ready to welcome new tenants, 18 years after recurrent flooding and mould shuttered the site. Sean Baird, CEO of the Toronto Community Housing Corporation, says federal and city funds unlocked in 2018 through the National Housing Strategy allowed the social housing provider to revitalize the property at a much lower cost than building new affordable housing. Toronto Community Housing says tenants could move in as soon as August, with priority given to families with children with disabilities, and rent for the three-bedroom units.
