City Council request the Director, Affordable Housing Office to work with the Director, Real Estate Services in the event that the properties at 214, 218, 220, 222, 224, 226 and 230 Sherbourne Street become available for sale on the open market to make a conditional offer on the properties and report to City Council in early 2019 with a recommended course of action for the acquisition, including federal, provincial or municipal sources of funding to purchase the properties.
Origin
Summary
In May 2018, City Council directed staff, in consultation with CreateTO, to conduct the necessary due diligence on the acquisition or expropriation of the seven abutting properties at 214, 218, 220, 222, 224, 226 and 230 Sherbourne Street ("the Properties") for affordable housing purposes.
Given the preliminary assessment and due diligence work outlined in this report and Confidential Attachment 1, staff do not recommend the acquisition or expropriation of the Properties at this time.
The City of Toronto does not currently have a policy or standardized approach to the acquisition/ expropriation of properties for affordable housing development. This report recommends CreateTO, the Director, Real Estate Services Division and the Director, Affordable Housing Office, develop an affordable housing real estate acquisition/ expropriation strategy and report on the strategy in 2019 as part of the development of the Housing Opportunities Toronto 2020-2030 Action Plan.
