The conversion of a Toronto church into affordable housing represents a strategic approach to addressing homelessness. Led by St. Clare's executive director Andrea Adams, the project, which includes a new mass timber modular building, addresses the urgent need for affordable housing in a region grappling with rising homelessness rates, with an alarming 80,000 people affected in Ontario. The innovative use of prefabricated homes not only accelerates construction timelines but also offers a more affordable solution, providing housing for those previously without stable shelter, illustrating a proactive model for future developments.
Adams emphasized that the project not only provides homes but also addresses a pressing issue faced by many, including those previously living in shelters or on the streets.
Experts highlight that modular housing's rapid construction can significantly reduce costs, indicating it as a viable solution to Ontario's ongoing housing crisis.
