A 154-unit public housing complex in Toronto’s west end that was deemed unsafe for occupancy last June after a ceiling collapse seriously injured one of its tenants could soon be demolished.

until work was completed that would make the buildings safe for them to return.

“As such, we have decided to move away from repairs and refurbishment to meet safety requirements,” TCHC told CP24.com.The ceiling collapse at Swansea Mews displaced approximately 420 tenants. Hopps grew up in the TCHC community and still keeps in close contact with several people who used to live there.

The housing corporation is assuring all tenants that they will be engaged in the planning and development process and that they will have the “opportunity to return to Swansea Mews once it is safe to do so.” Richardson said the new approach to affordable housing development can be seen in Regent Park, Alexandra Park, and near Queen Street East and Coxwell Avenue where mixed-use communities with a range of housing options at various price points are being built.

Half of community housing should be demolished. They’re unliveable

Now its just going to be condos 🙄

NDP in action getting more condos

2/2 If you think JohnTory TorontosMayor resigned because of inappropriate relationship think again. When he was asked to hand over the above land and all the money in the budget, he finally realized that he was licking big fat arse. maritstiles MikeSchreiner JohnFraserOS

1/2 The land is already sold to developers. By the end of their term, the plan is to demolish every single community housing unit and hand the land to the stag and doe developers. maritstiles MikeSchreiner JohnFraserOS JohnTory TorontosMayor

All subsidized housing should be immediately sold off to private developers and the inhabitants evicted. Cold Canadian winters and empty bellies would serve as a very strong incentive for these lazy bums to get off drugs, get cleaned up, and get to work.

Government is not your baby daddy

Displaced? Can you please clarify where? Like are these 400 people on the street now?

Prime real estate. Calculated neglect....

GOOD! Abolish all community housing in Toronto

They should demolish all welfare housing. People would have to take responsibility for their own life and work. Welfare shouldn’t be a career.

“Sandra Westwood, lived at Swansea Mews for 38 years until she was forced to relocate” Bruh… she could have paid a 25 year mortgage by now and nobody could have kicked her out
