We’re proud to share that the motion for the 7–9 Wardlaw Crescent supportive housing project has officially PASSED at the Planning & Housing Committee!
This is a huge win for North Etobicoke and for the future of affordable housing in our city.
We want to extend a sincere thank you to every community member, advocate, and organization who supported this motion - especially those who made time to speak up with powerful, heartfelt deputations. Your words mattered. Your voices moved this forward.

Let’s clear up the confusion.
There’s been a lot of talk about the affordable housing project at 7-9 Wardlaw Crescent, and unfortunately, a lot of it isn’t true.
This is not a shelter. It’s permanent, rent-geared-to-income housing for seniors, essential workers, and community members who are struggling to stay in the neighbourhood.
Right now, the average rent for a one-bedroom in Toronto is $2,480 a month (Rental.ca, March 2025). That’s just not realistic for many people in our community.
This project is needed. It’s thoughtful, community-informed, and backed by real facts.
Take a minute to read and share this post so we can spread the truth and build something better together. Please note, we are NOT asking for donations to sign.

Delta Family Resource Centre is a community organization serving priority neighborhoods in Northwest Toronto. Our catchment area stretches from Steeles in the North, Highway 27 in the West, Keele in the East, and the Humber River; Delta Family also serves Black communities from the GTA. This includes areas such as, Humber Summit, Humbermede, Jamestown, Mt. Olive, Beaumond Heights, and all NIA communities in Toronto’s North West.
All neighborhoods experience high levels of poverty, are isolated and under-served communities, as identified by the Urban Hearts research carried out by St. Michaels hospital and the City’s TSNS initiative. Residents include many immigrants and newcomers from South Asia, West Asia, Latin America, Vietnam, the Caribbean, and Africa.
Our Roots
Delta Family Resource Centre began in 1981 as a demonstration project with five women from the community hired to create a network to connect isolated parents, provide information about services available in the community, and establish supports and friendships for both parents and children.
In 1985 the network incorporated as a non-profit organization, “Delta Child Care Network”. This included community development, particularly in neighborhoods where few programs and services existed. The mid-nineties introduced the provision of services to newcomers to Canada.
By 1999, the organization was providing services to over 29 language and cultural groups in four locations.
In 2001, the name changed to “Delta Family Resource Centre” and its mission statement refined to reflect the diversity and multicultural aspect of its clientele.
