A Toronto Community Housing (TCH) site in Etobicoke is preparing to welcome new tenants after being closed for 18 years due to persistent flooding and mould problems. City News Toronto reports that the complex is made up of 17 townhouse units. The property has been redesigned and renovated, and it is now expected to meet strict energy-efficiency requirements. City News Toronto says the renovation project costs $9.7 million and highlights a tour by Federal Housing Minister Gregor Robertson as part of the reopening process. Global News Canada similarly describes the building as having been shuttered for nearly two decades following flooding and mould concerns, and notes that TCH is now ready to open it to new tenants. Together, the reports indicate that the long closure is being reversed through renovations aimed at addressing the earlier environmental and housing-condition issues and updating the building to current standards. The complex is described as readying for new occupancy, marking the end of a long period of inactivity.
