Supporting Over 70 New Affordable Homes in London
March 18, 2022
Today, the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Housing, Diversity and Inclusion, alongside Peter Fragiskatos, Member of Parliament for London North Centre and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Revenue, Arielle Kayabaga, Member of Parliament for London West, Josh Morgan, Deputy Mayor on the behalf of Ed Holder, Mayor of London, and Jeff Neven, CEO of Indwell, announced over $13.2 million in funding from the federal government. This investment will help build the Embassy Commons, which will provide 72 housing units. These housing units will offer supportive housing at deeply affordable rents for people who have struggled with housing stability, usually because of a mental health disability.
Located at 740 Dundas in London, this project will create a total of 72 residential units and will be operated by Indwell. The building will offer accessible common areas with community kitchens, and outdoor amenity spaces provide the infrastructure to encourage active community engagement for all tenants.
This investment by the Government of Canada was made possible by the National Housing Strategy's (NHS) National Housing Co-investment Fund (NHCF). The project also received $59,000 of SEED funding.
