The City, in partnership with CreateTO and UHN, is building 54 supportive homes at 1-3 Close Ave. and 78 Springhurst Ave.
Spring House (formerly known as Dunn House Phase 2) builds on the Social Medicine Housing Model first introduced at 90 Dunn Ave., where residents have access to medical, social and community supports right where they live.
The new homes are studio apartments with a bathroom and a kitchen, shared laundry, communal areas and activities space.
Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2026 and be completed in 2028. For the latest project information including construction updates, visit CreateTO’s site.

The Social Medicine Supportive Housing Model is based on the principle that people are more likely to stay well and continue living in their homes when housing and care are brought together in one place. This model prioritizes dignity, stability and health, creating a place where people can get the care they need.
Early results from Dunn House show significant reductions in emergency department visits and hospital bed days. These outcomes reflect improved health stability for residents and reduced pressure on the broader health care system, benefiting the community as a whole.
Spring House is supported by Build Canada Homes, the City of Toronto and the Government of Ontario, delivered in partnership with the University Health Network (UHN). It is moving forward as a Toronto Builds public developer project and will be delivered by CreateTO on behalf of the City.
This development is being advanced in alignment with the Shared Vision and Guiding Principles for UHN-owned lands in South Parkdale, adopted by City Council in March 2026.
All future development applications for these lands will be reviewed in the context of the shared vision and design principles. These principles guide how development proceeds on these lands and emphasize dignity, housing stability and community connection.
