What To Know

Toronto, the federal government and University Health Network announced plans for approximately 200 additional supportive homes for people experiencing homelessness and complex health needs.

The first site is expected to provide about 80 homes near Toronto Western Hospital. These are planned homes, rather than units currently available for applications. The City’s announcement provides the project details.

Background: the announcement builds on Dunn House, Canada's first social medicine supportive housing project, which opened in Parkdale in 2024 with 51 homes for people formerly experiencing homelessness, and on Spring House, a 54-unit development now underway nearby.

Funding announced October 1, 2026 includes more than $25 million from Build Canada Homes, more than $19 million from the City of Toronto (subject to council approval) and a $20 million contribution from the UHN Foundation, with the province providing health services and staffing support.
