There are more than 8,000 people experiencing homelessness in Toronto. New homes with supports are urgently needed to ensure everyone has a warm and safe place to call home. Learn more about why supportive housing is so important from the people who live and work there by watching this video.
To respond to this urgent need, the City is building modular housing at 39 Dundalk Drive (formerly 7 Glamorgan Avenue). The new building will provide homes for approximately 57 people and support their health and well‑being.
The new homes will be:
The building will include shared laundry, a commercial kitchen, a dining area, a communal area, and a programming space.
Two virtual community engagement sessions were held with Deputy Mayor Thompson and City staff to provide additional information about the proposed project and answer your questions.
Please contact the City’s engagement consultant or the Deputy Mayor’s Office if you have questions or feedback.
What is supportive housing (or housing with support services)
Housing with supports is a combination of deeply affordable housing and on-site supports that enable people to live as independently as possible. Supportive housing can help people stabilize their lives, help them stay housed and positively contribute to communities.

The new modular building will be located in the available land at the corner of Dundalk Drive and Glamorgan Avenue.
Based on experience here in Toronto and other communities where there is supportive housing, we do not anticipate any increased community safety issues in the neighbourhood as a result of this
new housing. The property will be managed by experienced non‑profit housing providers who will be responsible for responding to community concerns related to the building. The City will continue to work with the selected housing providers after the residents move in.
The City is committed to working with the local community throughout every stage of development and after the building opens. We encourage 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 both the new residents and the neighbourhood.
There is no application process or waitlist for this building. Tenants for these homes will be identified using a prioritization-based approach to connect people experiencing homelessness to this permanent housing opportunity. The City and the selected non-profit housing provider will coordinate the tenant identification process in partnership with street outreach, shelter, 24-hour respite, and hotel/motel program providers.
