Ottawa – Mayor Jim Watson joined Councillors Mathieu Fleury, Mark Taylor and Marianne Wilkinson to officially open the new 10-unit housing development located at 456 Old St. Patrick Street.
“The City’s Ten-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan is getting results,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “This new facility is a great example of how we are investing in communities to address the considerable social and economic costs related to homelessness.”
“This building was designed to address the lack of affordable larger units in Ottawa. It provides four two-bedroom units, five three-bedroom units and one four-bedroom, wheelchair-accessible unit,” said Councillor Marianne Wilkinson, Chair of the Ottawa Community Housing Corporation. “I am particularly proud of the new accessible unit, given the particular housing challenges faced by persons with disabilities and larger families,” she added.
Ward Councillor Mathieu Fleury welcomed the new development in his community, noting that “Just over a year ago, a derelict house stood on this property. Now we have an exciting new development providing homes for ten families, with convenient access to transit, schools, city services and all that the Lowertown has to offer. This is what revitalization is all about.”
Establishing affordable housing in Ottawa is a priority of the Ten-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan, which seeks to address the needs of Ottawa’s most vulnerable residents by eliminating chronic homelessness and building a city where everyone has a safe and affordable home in a neighbourhood where they chose to live. Under this plan, the City of Ottawa contributed $1.3 million to the $2.53 million project. The Ottawa Community Housing Corporation contributed the remainder of the funds for the redevelopment of this property.
