The City of Toronto, in partnership with University Health Network (UHN), is advancing Dunn House Phase 2, which will create approximately 54 studio homes in Parkdale as part of the UHN Social Medicine Initiative. CreateTO is delivering the project on the City’s behalf.

Early results from Dunn House at 90 Dunn Ave show that pairing housing with health care can significantly reduce emergency department visits and hospital stays, improving health outcomes while reducing pressure on Toronto’s health care system.

The proposed development is anticipated to include:

• Approximately 54 studio homes
• Integrated health and community[1]based supports
• A private bathroom and kitchen in each home
• Shared laundry and indoor common spaces
• On-site staff present 24 hours a day

This development is being developed in alignment with the Shared Vision and Guiding Principles for UHN-owned lands in South Parkdale.
