Both Ward 5 Coun. Robert Kirwan and his lone political opponent, Michel (Mike) Parent, have joined much of the Lorraine Street neighbourhood in opposing a transitional housing complex city council has already approved
The 40-unit transitional housing complex on Lorraine Street is progressing as directed by city council, though neither candidate running in the affected ward supports it.
The transitional housing complex is slated to be a 40-unit modular build with private units and shared amenities for programming on its main floor. “There will be individuals that have to make applications for the program, it’s not that we’re going to be forcing people to take it. … These are individuals wanting to make their lives better.”
Despite continued advocacy, the province hasn’t come to the table to fund the team’s $1.74-million annual expense. As such, the city has stepped up to foot the bill for the time being.Between widespread neighbourhood opposition to the project’s location and its expense, Kirwan said it makes more sense for the build to proceed as affordable housing, potentially for seniors.
“My concern is that the voice of the community was not heard,” Parent said, adding that although he’d like to see transitional housing in Greater Sudbury, this isn’t the correct location.
