Published Saturday, December 19, 2020 3:23PM EST The City of Toronto welcomed residents to its first modular housing building in Scarborough on Saturday as part of its HousingTO Action Plan to provide affordable homes for those in need.

Tory took a tour of the homes which are meant to provide affordable residences for individuals exiting the shelter system. “I think modular homes can play a big role because they can be put up quickly, they are in a position where they can provide a real home for people and provide the supports inside for people who are dealing with issues involving mental health, substance issues or something like that,” Tory told reporters on Saturday.
