COSTI Immigrant Services supports the issuance of an MZO for the development proposed for the site located at 1635 Lawrence Ave. W. Our work in running shelters for the homeless has become exceedingly difficult because of the lack of suitable affordable housing. Parents are using their Child Tax Benefit to pay for their rent and significant numbers are applying up to 60% of their income for rent. The proposed 1,314 units of affordable and attainable housing units at 1635 Lawrence are significant contribution in addressing the issue of affordability and availability of housing.

More detail is provided in the attached letter.
