Has anyone spoken with area residents or explained why they were not notified in advance?

Area residents are not notified in advance of a pending real estate transactions made by the Regional Municipality of Durham. The reality is that negotiations involve confidential financial details. They need to remain that way.

As the Service System Manager, the Region is expanding services available across Durham to support people with housing and homelessness supports. Homelessness is a crisis across the region and the country.

The Region made the announcement on the day it took possession of the property. This was done to make this decision public. The notification can be reviewed here.

We encourage the community to stay up to date by visiting the project website at yourvoice.durham.ca/HelpAddressHomelessness.
