Gabriel Dumont Non-Profit Homes

Gabriel Dumont Non-Profit Homes (GDNP) was established in 1985 as a non-profit housing provider offering affordable housing for the Indigenous community in Scarborough for over 35 years. GDNP currently operates 87units of affordable housing for the Indigenous community, including 80 three and four bedroom units at its site at 4201 and 4203 Kingston Road, in Scarborough, Ontario. GDNP has retained SHS as their development consultant to create additional affordable housing at 4201 and 4203 Kingston Road.

Objective

GDNP’s Wauseyah project will create 68 new affordable housing units at 4201 & 4203 Kingston Road and 120 Galloway Road. The project will create much needed housing for members of the Indigenous community in the GTA by adding 54 new one and 14 two-bedroom units to the site which will allow GDNP to add critical portfolio diversity by housing a greater range of families and households, provide a continuum of housing onsite, and help meet the localized and larger housing need of Indigenous people in Toronto.

GDNP intends to provide these units as deeply affordable housing in perpetuity and create a wholistic community supporting Indigenous individuals and families to have successful tenancies and reclaiming their Indigenous heritage. The project is expected to begin construction in 2025.
