Housing charity hosting information session tonight, Oct. 3, for construction project to start later this year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue Door is preparing to transform one of its Newmarket housing facilities and is inviting the public to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The housing charity is holding a community drop-in information event tonight, Oct. 3, on its transformation of Kevin\u2019s Place shelter at 835 Gorham St. The charity is preparing to demolish the 12-unit home to make way for 14 stacked townhouse units on the same property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKevin\u2019s Place is not operating at its full potential. The housing is occupying only about 30 per cent of the total property it sits on,\u201d Blue Door said on social media. \u201cThese townhouses will provide affordable and accessible housing to vulnerable individuals and families that are experiencing homelessness in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue Door received council approvals for the concept in 2023<\/a> and a ministerial zoning order it needed from the province this past summer<\/a>. Kevin\u2019s Place has operated for more than 20 years, providing 12 emergency and transitional housing spaces for male youth. The new proposal will have 14 units similarly providing transitional and emergency housing for families. The project will also add parking, to a total of 14 spaces for visitors, residents and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Development on the project is due to start later this year. Blue Door and EllisDon Corporation will be hosting the drop-in session at the Construct facility at 212 Earl Stewart Dr. in Aurora from 6 to 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can RSVP to the event through the Blue Door website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
