2 Buttonwood is allegedly no longer a "retirement" facility.

From https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/housing-shelter/homeless-help/about-torontos-shelter-system/developing-shelter-sites/2-buttonwood-ave/

Location: 2 Buttonwood Ave.
Demographic: Women with children
Anticipated capacity: Up to 96 families
Opening date: Late 2026

The City of Toronto has secured 2 Buttonwood Ave. for use as a family shelter to help women experiencing homelessness and their children gain stability and work toward permanent housing. The program will open gradually, starting with approximately 24 families and expanding to support up to 96 families over time.

The shelter is part of the City’s Council-approved Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy, which aims to open up to 20 new shelters citywide by 2033. These sites will help respond to demand and stabilize the shelter system. Learn more about the Strategy.

The City is committed to working with the local community to support the success of the site and has hired Community Engagement Facilitator Joe Mihevc to lead engagement. More information can be found in the Working with the Community tab below.
