The agency has been working with such diverse partners as Daniels, Sun Life, Castlepoint Numa, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Danforth Baptist Church, Newmarket Funds, the Sprott Foundation, R-Hauz and the City of Toronto to cobble together deals to reach its 2030 target, building on the original inventory of 1,000 units.

An 18-unit transitional housing project designed and built in seven months with only two change orders sets a standard for other housing projects at a time when speed of construction is a prerequisite to tackling the deepening housing affordability crisis in Ontario and Canada.

In keeping with the church’s themes of community and looking to the future, the proposed addition of housing to the site features some unique elements. The design by CMV Group Architects includes mass timber construction that offers a low-carbon solution in the face of climate change, while the proposed affordable housing is intended to support low-income individuals. Portions of the church would be retained to continue as part of the community.
