A much needed supportive housing proposal in Barrie. Previously, this site hosted a shelter and an OPP station before that.
"The County of Simcoe has submitted an application for a zoning by-law amendment to facilitate the construction of a mixed use building with two towers ranging in height from 9 to 11 storeys, including 215 rental residential units and approximately 4,750 square metres of community and social services agency space.
The project is a large-scale Ontario Works and County Social and Community Services building and will provide a range of housing types including affordable housing units, rent-geared-to income and "missing middle" units as well as space for social, health and community partners."
From the arch docs:
Current streetview where the shelter can be seen:
More info from the county. "Anticipated construction start in the spring of 2024." Completion supposedly in 2027.
