FULL JOB DESCRIPTION
On May 5, 2021, Toronto City Council approved the creation of the Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation (“TSHC”) to provide seniors with safe, well-maintained homes and improved living conditions, services and experiences. TSHC will interact with and support senior tenants in new ways, with the goal of ensuring seniors can age in place with dignity and in comfort. On June 1, 2022, all 83 Toronto Community Housing Corporation (“TCHC”) seniors’ buildings transitioned to be managed by the new Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation. The new corporation will continue to be focused on meeting the needs of senior tenants through the Integrated Service Model.
TCHC will continue to own the buildings and be responsible for major capital. TSHC will lease the buildings from TCHC and be responsible for minor capital and maintenance. TSHC will be entering into agreements for shared services where appropriate with TCHC and TSHC will be focused on tenant facing issues, including health and social supports.
