Circle Community LandTrust

Circle Community LandTrust (“Circle”) is a non-profit organization founded to protect and invest in some of the last affordable family-sized homes in Toronto. In June 2021, the City of Toronto chose Circle as the successful proponent to take ownership and manage 561 homes previously part of Toronto Community Housing Corporation. For tenants, the benefits will be improved services, well-maintained houses, and the assurance that they can raise their families without the fear of losing their homes. For Toronto, the benefits are the preservation and regeneration of hundreds of affordable houses – houses that would be impossible to replace in today’s market – in mixed-income neighbourhoods.

As of May 2022, Circle will begin to complete the purchase of the houses, bring them to a good state of repair, and keep them affordable. Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of leaders in the social housing sector, Circle has a vision of keeping quality, family-sized, perpetually affordable homes available in inclusive communities to serve today's tenants and future generations.
