I am pleased to announce that our ward has a new affordable housing property dedicated to marginalized Indigenous men at 218 Carlton Street, now known by the Anishnawbe name “Migize Pazaagwii Gamik” (Uplifting Place of the Bald Eagle).
Native Men’s Residence (Na-Me-Res) is now offering secure, safe and affordable housing for Indigenous men. During the official opening on July 22, I had the opportunity to visit some of the units and speak with a resident who expressed great joy at finally having a place to call home.
Previously used as office space, the property at 218 Carlton Street was acquired by the City through a section 37 Agreement with MOD Developments Inc. through the redevelopment of 55-61 Charles Street East. The building was fully renovated by MOD and then transferred to the City for use as permanent affordable rental housing.

More than 130 residents participated in community safety meetings hosted by my office and Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) this spring in St. James Town and Moss Park. The meetings brought together residents, TCHC staff, Toronto Police Service, the City's Violence Intervention and Support Unit, Fred Victor, and Unison Health and Community Services to discuss local safety concerns and identify solutions.
