This project is being delivered in partnership with all orders of government, the University Health Network (UHN), the Gattuso Centre for Social Medicine and the United Way of Greater Toronto. The Social Medicine Initiative incorporates housing as a critical social determinant of health for individuals experiencing homelessness, particularly those from equity-deserving groups who are over-represented in Toronto’s homeless population with complex, chronic or acute health needs and who are recurring patients at UHN clinics and/or emergency departments.

The MURA program provides City grant funding and incentives to support the acquisition of private market rental housing by non-profit housing providers. These include Indigenous housing providers, co-operatives and community land trusts. The program supports these housing providers to purchase at-risk private market rental housing and secure the homes as permanently-affordable non-profit housing.
To advance the City’s commitments to truth, reconciliation and justice, 20 per cent of MURA funding is dedicated to property acquisitions by Indigenous housing organizations
The deadline for RFP submissions has now passed. The City is reviewing applications and will notify successful proponents during the week of June 19.
