Origin

(September 21, 2020) Report from the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration

Summary

On July 28, 2020, through Item No. GL14.11, City Council approved the acquisition of 2950 and 2970 Lake Shore Boulevard West for use as a municipal shelter. Council also requested that the General Manager, Shelter, Support, Housing and Administration consider co-locating permanent housing on the site and report back to the General Government and Licensing Committee.

 

This report is for information purposes, and responds to Council's request to report back to General Government and Licensing Committee. This report includes information of preliminary results of a feasibility study on co-locating permanent housing on-site with the approved shelter service, and provides an overview of an accelerated community engagement process to work with the local community, Ward Councillor and other stakeholders to ensure the success of the future development. Additionally, the report highlights the range of community services near the properties and outlines how the Shelter, Support, Housing and Administration division will work with local service providers.
