We’re continuing to build new homes in Toronto’s core. Today we announced the beginning of construction at 35 Bellevue Ave. This property, previously a City-owned parking lot, will include approximately 78 rent-geared-to-income homes. The City has selected Kensington Market Community Land Trust in partnership with St Clare’s Multifaith Housing Society as 35 Bellevue Ave.’s operators. These future homes will contribute to the creation of non-market homes, increasing affordable rental housing stock in Toronto. While providing safe, affordable, and independent living spaces, these projects also offer people homes with supports to maintain their health, wellbeing, and housing stability.

Come let us solve this Rubik's Cube of a Housing crisis with more than the same old tired words...together.. Make it a movement for the Social Good...not just 'individual good'. It is possible.. Just don't give up. "To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

Co-living developments are transforming London’s housing landscape, providing innovative and community-focused solutions to address the ongoing housing crisis. New research by Lichfields UK, featured in A New Way to Live: Co-living in London, reveals the rapid growth of the co-living sector and its potential to reshape urban living. Despite being in its early stages, the sector is already thriving, with nearly 70% of large-scale co-living planning applications in London gaining approval. These thoughtfully designed spaces prioritize affordability, flexibility, and a sense of community, catering to young professionals and others seeking modern, high-quality living environments. However, misconceptions persist, and collaborative efforts between developers, policymakers, and communities are essential to ensure co-living is fully integrated into housing strategies. Adam Donovan, Planning Director at Lichfields, emphasizes that co-living is not a temporary fix but a forward-thinking lifestyle that addresses London’s housing challenges while fostering community living. To explore how co-living is reshaping housing in London and the potential benefits for local authorities and residents alike, read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eNv4twch #CoLiving #LichfieldsResearch #LichfieldsUK #LondonHousingCrisis #ConstructionInnovation #AffordableHousingSolutions #UrbanDevelopment

We are delighted to announce that we have achieved planning for our new mixed-tenure development of 84 council and market sale homes at Fanshawe Road, Cambridge. This project underscores our commitment to address housing needs in the region by providing a blend of council and market sale homes. The development will provide 45 council homes, with 34 affordable rent at 60% of the market rate, which is the Council’s standard for new builds, and 11 of the homes affordable rent at 80% of the market rate, to ensure that those who struggle to rent or buy locally and don’t qualify for council homes are still able to live in a secure, sustainable new home. There will also be 39 market sale homes. All the homes in this development will meet Passivhaus-equivalent performance standards. This commitment to sustainability not only reduces the environmental impact but also ensures that residents benefit from lower energy costs and a healthier living environment.
