TORONTO —The Ontario government is investing $7.7 million to support the Frankfort Family Reena Residence, which will provide a home to 168 vulnerable individuals, including people with developmental disabilities, adults with physical disabilities and seniors.
“Reena is a key partner in helping us build a more inclusive, welcoming, and stronger province,” said Michael Parsa, Minister of Children, Community and Social Services. “That’s why we are pleased to invest in the new Frankfort Family Reena Residence to better match people with housing that meets their unique needs and empowers them to live independently, while thriving in their community.”
This innovative 20-storey residence will feature 111 residential units designed with accessibility and community integration in mind. The Ontario government’s funding, announced in the 2024 Fall Economic Statement, will also help Reena create new onsite spaces for services such as employment services, sports programs, meeting rooms, and wellness programs.
This supportive housing project aligns with Ontario’s priority to invest in key social infrastructure to ensure Ontario’s most vulnerable populations are connected to the key services they need.
