Durham Region has an urgent need for affordable housing and supportive housing.
In June 2023, Durham Regional Council approved funding for a Whitby-based site; a chance to support those who are vulnerable in our community. As a former long-term care home, this site is an ideal location for wrap-around supports.
In July 2020, Durham Regional Council voted to expedite the development of two new projects to help address the needs of Durham’s unsheltered residents; needs that were highlighted during the COVID-19 crisis: a modular housing project in Beaverton, and a micro-homes pilot project in Oshawa.
