As someone who works in social services and sees the state of housing in Hamilton, this is absolutely needed. There are so many people that need affordable homes and need supports from places like Indwell. The state that Hamilton has gotten to makes it hard to even drive into work. It's sad.

This delayed project could mean nearly 500 new homes for Hamilton, and Indwell will build (and operate!) about 100 units.
We need more affordable and supportive housing.

The fact that this has been sitting here for years empty while there is a housing shortage is absolutely disgusting. CN should be ashamed of themselves for preventing this development. This MZO should be approved so people who don’t have housing can be housed.
I would like to see this project move ahead. People were already living there are were displaced. We need more affordable housing and housing supports like Indwell is offering. Be sure to build it properly to mitigate any issues that could arise.
I am writing in support of this request. This land has been an eyesore for many years and Hamilton has a homeless crisis. This project will make a segnificant dent in the homeless crises and provide many afforable units.
I used to live on Ferrie St right across from the abandoned lot. Every time I left my front door it broke my heart to see such a waste of quality downtown space especially at a time when homelessness is so pervasive. It is unjust and undignified for CN Rail to block its development.

The homelessness issue in Hamilton is dire. Rents and housing prices are extremely high which makes them unaffordable for many citizens. We also are in incredible need for supportive housing for those who live with substance abuse and mental health issues.

Hi - We desparately need more housing in Hamilton. This need is well established. Especially non-profit & supportive housing. Let's move forward with this project as quickly as possible. The land has been sitting - useless - for MANY years.

As city that is struggling with providing affordable housing for Hamiltonians this development site will provide deeply affordable subsidized housing and market housing. This development supports City of Hamilton's development strategy.
This would be a massive and much needed project for the community in not just ending homelessness but also providing affordable homes for the community. since the end of COVID this has become very paramount
The Jamesville homes need to be built. The lot is an eyesore and the lack of homes is contributing to the housing crisis. Those homes were there for years ,CN rail needs to be ignored and the homes need to be built.
As a longtime resident of Hamilton, I knew the Jamesville complex when it was full of families. The long overdue delay is starting it's new life as affordable and market rent housing is desperately needed to relieve the backlog on the city and its residents for affordable housing.

It is imperative that this site become housing as soon as possible. There is a serious shortage of affordable housing, and this proposal includes affordable housing (although I wish more of it was dedicated to affordable!).

I support whatever it takes to fast track this process. However, the affordable housing units should be built first and prioritized over the for profit housing.
