Work is underway on Cedarvale Ave across the street from Stan Wadlow Park on a 59-unit modular housing project. It seems to combine both individual and communal features. The homes are being installed on what was a small parking lot. Residents of the area have objected to scheme but the city, as well as the local Councillor, say it’s necessary. Mayor Tory and a number of city officials were on hand at the site at 540 Cedarvale as crews began lifting the pre-fabricated units into place.
“For those exiting homelessness”
The units, which each house studio apartments, will eventually be stacked on top of one another to form a new affordable housing building which will provide shelter to people exiting homelessness. According to a release, the building will be run by a non-profit housing provider and will also have common amenities, including a commercial kitchen that can provide on-site meals for residents.
