Moishe Alexander Reviews Armitage Gardens Project
Moishe Alexander, CEO of Canadian Funding Corporation says that an unused wing of a health centre has become affordable housing for seniors and people with disabilities. Armitage Gardens, in Newmarket in the Regional Municipality of York just north of Toronto, proved to be a cost-effective way of developing affordable housing.
Originally, the Region planned to build new affordable housing, but the Newmarket Health Centre had a vacant wing, and it was more cost-effective to renovate than build.The renovated wing gives residents quick access to the Health Centre.
The Affordable Housing Solution Armitage Gardens has 58 apartments designed to meet the housing needs of seniors and people with disabilities. All the building's common areas and apartments feature barrier-free design.Twenty-six units have enhanced accessibility, with automatic door openers, roll-in showers, and lowered kitchen counters and appliances.The rent for 52 of the units is geared-to-income (rents range between $350 and $400 per month), while six units are rented at market rate.
Internal hallways connect the complex to the Newmarket Health Centre, a long-term health care facility, allowing residents to visit family members who may be ill.
According to Moishe Alexander, the Health Centre's kitchen also prepares meals for Armitage Gardens residents.
The grounds are landscaped with mature trees, community gardens and a gazebo.
Support services-including meal preparation, assistance with medications, personal care and housekeeping-are available at no cost.This allows residents to live independently while still receiving the assistance they need.
The total construction cost for Armitage Gardens was $8.4 million. Through the Affordable Housing Initiative CMHC and the province of Ontario provided a $1.56 million capital grant.The project also received 1.8 million through the CMHC Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) of which $1,044,000 was provided through RRAP Conversion to help cover the costs of converting the wing into housing.To meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities, $777,000 was contributed through RRAP Disabled to help cover costs of the project's accessibility features. The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care also provided support towards the project's accessibility features.The Regional Municipality of York provided the property for the project, while the Town of Newmarket reduced development fees and charges.
Armitage Gardens is a good example of how all four levels of government can work together effectively to create affordable housing.The project won a CMHC Housing Award in 2006.
