New Affordable Homes for Indigenous Peoples in Toronto

[admin]

the Government of Canada, the Government of Ontario and the City of Toronto marked the start of construction of the 230 Coxwell Avenue, creating 20 new affordable homes in Toronto. This is on top of 1005 affordable homes the federal government announced so far in Toronto under the Rapid Housing Initiative since 2020.

Operated by Toronto's Indigenous non-profit Na-Me-Res (Native Men's Residence), this four-storey building will provide 20 affordable housing units for Indigenous People facing and experiencing homelessness. The property will include a common room for cultural events, and the first floor will be designed for tenants with mobility issues.

Completion of the project is expected by the Winter of 2026.

A breakdown of funding for this project includes:

• $5.8 million under the Cities Stream of the third round of the Rapid Housing Initiative (RHI),

• $1.4 million from the joint federal-provincial Ontario Priorities Housing Initiative (OPHI),

• $1.2 million through Ontario's Indigenous Supportive Housing Program (ISHP),

• $1.2 million in contribution from the City of Toronto

• $ 2.9 million from the National Indigenous Collaborative Housing Inc. (NICHI)
