The project, located at 46 Elmwood Place, would convert the former long-term care home into 50 highly supportive housing units.
The project is ready to move forward, according to officials, and is just waiting on council approval. Adam Carapella, vice-president at Tricar, hopes this project serves as a template for other developers to follow suit. The location was identified by the group as they thought it could be quickly converted to highly supportive housing. However, some work does need to be done on the building before it’s up and running.“Not every unit has a full bathroom or full kitchenette facilities, so a lot of plumbing work has to go into it. We’ll also see how much of the HVAC system we can use,” Carapella said.
