On the agenda

As the city filed it

The purpose of this Motion is to amend item MM42.39, Protecting Existing Housing and Creating Permanently Affordable Homes with Supports for Youth at 556 Bathurst Street, adopted by City Council on April 6 and 7, 2022. The amendments relate to updated business arrangements for the purchase of the existing affordable rental housing property at 556 Bathurst Street. The original Council Decision anticipated a partnership between the two agencies, Youth Without Shelter Terra House North Toronto Emergency and Referral Agency, and the Kensington Market Community Land Trust, for the purchase and operation of 556 Bathurst Street for permanently affordable rental housing.

Item MM42.39 allocated $3 million in Section 37 (Planning Act Reserve Fund) community benefits funding for the purchase. The two agencies have now chosen not to pursue the acquisition as a partnership and Youth Without Shelter will purchase 556 Bathurst Street alone. This Motion provides $2.5 million to Youth Without Shelter to proceed with the purchase 556 Bathurst Street, and $500,000 to the Kensington Market Community Land Trust for expenses the group has incurred in relation to acquisition of 556 Bathurst Street, and to support the acquisition of an additional affordable rental housing property in Ward 11, University-Rosedale, under the terms of the City's Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition Program. A future report from the Housing Secretariat will inform City Council of the the Kensington Market Community Land Trust's new acquisition and seek relief of property taxes to support long-term affordability of the site.
