Neighbours Community Homes

Today is and the . We remember the children who never returned home, honour Survivors and their families, and recognize the lasting harms of colonialism, including its impact on access to safe, affordable housing.

34 tenants who are deaf or hard of hearing call Neighbours home. This , we recognize the Deaf community and the importance of communication, accessibility and inclusion. Because being part of a community means being able to participate and belong.

Communication is a human right. Today, we recognize the role of sign languages in helping people communicate, participate and build connections. Inclusive communities make space for different ways of communicating.

Every day, we work alongside tenants to build relationships and create communities where people can feel supported and connected. Let’s bring that same care to people around us. A simple reminder that someone is not alone makes a difference.

On July 31, Neighbours Community Homes celebrated the groundbreaking of our new 14-storey, 108-home building at 1117 Danforth Avenue.

The building will include affordable, rent-controlled and rental replacement homes, creating an inclusive, mixed-income community for current and future Neighbours tenants.

Thank you to the City of Toronto, Woodbourne and everyone who helped bring this project forward. We also appreciate Mayor Olivia Chow and Councillor Paula Fletcher for joining us to mark this important milestone.

Construction is now underway, with occupancy expected in 2029.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Summer Gathering yesterday! It was wonderful to see our Neighbours community come together, enjoy the sunshine, share some laughs, and spend time with one another. We are grateful to everyone who helped make the day so special.

Happy ! As we mark July 1, we celebrate the people and communities that make Canada a welcoming place to call home. We also recognize that too many people still don’t have a place to call home. Together, we can build a future where everyone has safe and secure housing.
