The William Dennison seniors’ apartments are currently boarded up, but TCHC will soon issue a request for bids to renovate it
When affordable housing is a scarce commodity in Toronto, it’s shameful that a building that looks quite serviceable is closed and the tenants sent packing., just north of Dundas Street, where seniors who lived there were forced to leave in 2021 when it was closed.
Dennison is mostly forgotten now, but Maloney noted he was “mayor just prior to David Crombie, and during his career he championed all sorts of good things way ahead of his time and before they had even become law: tenant protection, medicare, a heat bylaw, school meals, city-owned, low-cost housing, daycare and a better deal for welfare recipients.”
Maloney makes a persuasive argument, which sent me to Toronto Community Housing Corporation to ask why the Dennison building was closed.TCHC spokesperson Robin Smith told me it was emptied in 2021 due to “heavy water damage.” Tenants of the rent-geared-to-income apartments — three one-bedrooms and eight bachelors — were rehoused due to safety issues.
