Origin
Summary
On January 30, 2019, City Council approved a signature affordable housing program, the "Housing Now Initiative," to leverage City-owned land for the purpose of creating new, mixed-use, mixed-income communities near transit. Through the Initiative, 11 properties were initially identified for development, with the potential to create a total of 10,000 new residential units.
On May 28, 2020, Council approved the addition of six more sites to the Housing Now Initiative with the potential to create 1,455 to 1,700 additional residential units. The Housing Now Initiative is coordinated through a Steering Committee composed of senior staff from the Housing Secretariat, City Planning and CreateTO.
The purpose of this report is to provide the CreateTO Board of Directors with a broad status update on the progress made to-date on activating the 17 properties.
