Winchester Park Affordable Housing Updates

The City, in partnership and collaboration with Dixon Hall, is completing rehabilitation and renovation work at 41 Rose Avenue and 502-508 Parliament Street. Achieving Toronto’s housing goals relies not only on building new supply but also maintaining, preserving, and protecting existing homes – especially deeply affordable housing. Once work is complete, these 49 homes will be operated by Dixon Hall and provide housing with supports for individuals currently experiencing homelessness, including young 2SLGBTQ+ women.

Occupancy of 41 Rose Avenue and 504-508 Parliament Street is anticipated in the second quarter of 2025. Occupancy of 502 Parliament Street is anticipated in the first quarter of 2026.

The City is also actively exploring options to support the rehabilitation of the properties at 265-277 Wellesley Street East for affordable housing. The heritage status of these properties as well as the extensive repairs required are important considerations in determining an  appropriate approach.  

I look forward to sharing updates from City staff with you as I receive them. Thank you for your continued support!
