The City and Homes First will coordinate the tenant identification process in partnership with street outreach, shelter, 24-hour respite and hotel/motel program providers.

The City has completed its selection process for a housing and support services provider at 39 Dundalk Drive, and has selected Homes First.
With nearly 40 years of experience in the field, Homes First provides homes and essential support services to nearly 2,000 seniors, families and single adults in Toronto. Homes First operates long-term supportive housing sites, large-scale emergency shelters and essential support services for all populations, focusing on people with long histories of homelessness, and with mental health and substance use challenges.
The City is committed to working with the local community throughout every stage of development and has encouraged neighbours to share their interests and priorities for the site, provide feedback on building and site design elements such as lighting, pathways and landscaping, and offer suggestions for how these new homes could benefit the residents and the neighbourhood.
