Housing Strategy October Update

  • We have established a lease with HomeSpace for the Family Housing site based on the Council-approved Method of Disposition. The lease will commence April 1, 2025.
  • Our Planning & Development Services team and HomeSpace continue to work through details of land use and development applications. The land use application is the next step in the process and this was submitted earlier this week.
  • As mentioned in our last update, we continue to support site preparation costs to help keep development related costs low in support of overall affordability. These costs are being covered through The City’s Housing Land Fund and we continue to estimate that actual costs are going to come in at or below budget (estimated $915K for de-risking the site).
  • HomeSpace and The Mayor’s Office are preparing for a groundbreaking event for the Family Housing site at Whitehorn on November 1, 2024. This event will be focused solely on the north site, as per email exchanges from earlier this week. 

Housing Strategy September Update

  • We continue to work through the process of establishing a lease with HomeSpace for the Family Housing site based on the Council-approved Method of Disposition. We anticipate finalizing the lease agreement near the end of this month. Conversations between The City’s planning team and HomeSpace have occurred and a Land Use application from HomeSpace is the next step in the process.
  • We are committed to supporting site preparation costs to help keep development related costs low in support of overall affordability. These costs are being covered through The City’s Housing Land Fund and we are anticipating that actual costs are going to come in at or below budget (estimated $915K for de-risking the site).
  • It was recently brought to our attention through the Ward Office of a resident's concern regarding the condition of the site. Administration has responded to the Ward Office with information about the site maintenance plan and confirmed that the grass was cut on September 19th. The City will continue to maintain the site until the lease is signed. Once that milestone occurs, the responsibility will be transferred to HomeSpace.
