Toronto considers leasing 5,015 square feet at Mill and Front Streets to WoodGreen Community Services for social programs
City Council is being asked to approve a sub-sublease of community space at two downtown addresses to WoodGreen Community Services, a social agency focused on healthy aging, newcomer services, and economic stability. The space was selected through a competitive process. The decision would authorize the City to enter into a long-term tenancy agreement for the delivery of integrated services in a growing neighbourhood.

Why is this story here?
ContainedThe decision is a single-site, time-limited sublease of approximately 5,015 square feet to one organization. WoodGreen is selected through a competitive RFI process and the lease is subject to the established Community Space Tenancy Policy (2017.EX28.8). A future council could decline renewal or redirect the space. The commitment is bounded geographically and organizationally, and is reversible at lease expiry without significant cost.Touches a narrow groupThe community space serves residents in a growing neighbourhood through social and health services, but the lease agreement itself is an administrative decision between the City and one service provider. Most Toronto residents do not interact with this specific facility or WoodGreen's operations at this location. Residents of the immediate area and service-users of WoodGreen programs may notice the services, but the lease signing itself is not a direct present effect on daily life for a broad group.
