Habitat for Humanity GTA (Habitat GTA) proudly launched the construction of its newest project of 20 new affordable homes at 423 Old Weston Rd., just north of St. Clair Avenue West in Toronto’s thriving Stockyards community. With Canadians struggling with a housing affordability crisis and one-third of families renting in the GTA living in a home they can barely afford, today’s announcement is critically essential. Habitat GTA is empowering 20 families with Habitat Homeownership, so they will build equity for themselves and their children and know the safety, security, and self-reliance of owning a home.

This afternoon, Habitat GTA and partners from the City of Toronto, the Federal Government, Diamond Kilmer Developments and future Habitat Homeowners came together to break ground at the site of the future community at 423 Old Weston Rd.
