Build Canada Homes commits $25 million to scale Toronto’s Dunn House supportive model
Federal funds would add about 80 homes near Toronto Western Hospital as UHN and the city aim for roughly 200 new supportive units across three sites.
Published: October 2, 2026 · 1 min read
Funding remains subject to due diligence, underwriting and definitive agreements; additional city incentives of about $27 million still need council approval. The announcement sits alongside Ottawa’s wider Toronto rental partnership for more than 5,600 new homes and underlines a federal bet that pairing housing with on-site primary care, mental health and addictions supports can ease both homelessness and hospital pressure.
