Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre

There are ten residential units on the third floor of our building, which provide permanent, supportive and affordable housing for twelve PARC members who have suffered with mental health barriers, struggled with addiction, and survived long periods of homelessness. Support is provided by a housing worker who assists tenants to develop a strong sense of place and home.

PARC has partnered with Habitat Services to develop Edmond Place. This project has transformed a derelict building into a renewed heritage property with 29 units of permanent, affordable, self-contained apartments through the Affordable Housing Program. In January 2011 new residents were welcomed to live at the same spot where Edmond Yu and others have lived at board rooms.
