On May 5, 2021, Toronto City Council approved the establishment of the Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation (“TSHC”) to provide seniors with safe, well-maintained homes and improved living conditions, services and experiences. TSHC will engage and support older tenants in new ways to ensure that seniors can age with dignity and comfort. On June 1, 2022, all 83 Toronto Community Housing Corporation (“TCHC”) senior-owned buildings transitioned to be managed by the new Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation. The new company will continue to focus on meeting the needs of senior tenants through its Integrated Service Model.
TCHC will continue to own the buildings and be responsible for the major capital. TSHC will lease the buildings from TCHC and be responsible for minor capital and maintenance. TSHC will enter into agreements with TCHC for shared services where appropriate, and TSHC will focus on issues facing tenants, including health and social supports.
