MISSISSAUGA, ONT. – Cornerstone Suites, a new development bringing 40 supportive housing units to Streetsville, Ont., opened its doors recently.
The development is by Indwell, a provider of supportive and affordable housing in Ontario, in partnership with Peel Region. The new building is Indwell’s second program in Peel. The organization is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
Tenants began moving in last month. They will have access to integrated supports provided by a professional staff team, including nursing, psychosocial care, food security, mental health and addiction services, housing assistance, onsite facilities and maintenance staff.
The independent studio apartments, 10 of which are barrier-free, are fully furnished. Tenants will have access to shared common spaces, including a third-floor patio and a gathering area with a servery designed to accommodate up to 40 people. The amenities will host food security programs, community meetings and programming activities for tenants.
The building and streetscape incorporate two 19th-century heritage listed homes, blending historical preservation with modern efficiencies built to the Passive House standard, indicates a release.
The project received funding from CMHC’s Rapid Housing Initiative as well as the province’s Social Services Relief Fund. Many community partners, including churches, individuals and businesses also contributed to the project.
