Relocation – Phases 4 and 5

Relocation is a vital part of any revitalization project. Relocation requires a thoughtful process to ensure a smooth and comfortable transition for Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) tenants. TCHC tenants living in Phases 4 and 5 of Regent Park, like all tenants of revitalized TCHC communities, will be supported through the process and they will have the Right to Return after work is completed in their community.

TCHC’s Relocation Process Aims to Put Tenants First

Toronto Community Housing’s five-step relocation process is based on the organization’s values of Respect, Accountability, Community Collaboration, Integrity and Accessibility for persons with disabilities. Tenants are supported from notification to relocation through one-on-one conversations to share information, understand resident needs and educate tenants about the relocation process and their rights and options; regular, general community information sessions to discuss relocation and provide progress updates; the provision of timely communications, including advanced and formal notice of relocation; and practical support, such as providing moving essentials like packing materials, to arranging and paying for the move.
A similar five-step process helps residents return following a relocation.

Right to Return

Toronto Community Housing is committed to a tenant’s Right to Return after revitalization work has been completed in their home community, subject to eligibility rules in the Relocation Agreement signed with TCHC. You can read more about Toronto Community Housing’s commitment to residents of revitalization communities in its Relocation Policy.

In Progress: Phase 4 Relocation

In line with its commitment to support tenants throughout the revitalization of Regent Park, TCHC has provided tenants in Phase 4a buildings (those located West of Sackville – 325 and 355 Gerrard St., and 274 Sackville St.), with an N13 notice in February 2023, following one-year advanced notice of Relocation provided to tenants in mid-March 2022. 4a tenants have been notified by letter that they will begin the relocation process on February 1 through June 30, 2023.
Residents in Phase 4 b (in buildings East of Sackville – 361-367 Gerrard St. E. and 295-323 Sackville St.) and Phase 5 residents (in buildings 184 – 206 River St, 259 – 272 Sumach St, and 407 – 479 Gerrard St E) are no longer scheduled to relocate in 2023, as was previously communicated to them, due to a change in the construction and demolition schedule for Phases 4 and 5 of Regent Park.
Tenants who are preparing for relocation should update their household’s tenancy information at their dedicated Tenant Service Hub to provide an accurate, up-to-date assessment of their family size. This information is needed to successfully relocate families to an appropriately-sized unit.

Phases 4 and 5 is the area south of Gerrard Street and north of Oak Street, east of Parliament Street and west of River Street.
