Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to provide an update to Government Management Committee on continuing the negotiation of 731 Runnymede Road, Toronto, (the "Property"). The Property, a previous Goodwill location, was first identified by Real Estate Services (RES) as a potential site for an emergency shelter in January 2016. Since then, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration (SSHA) and Real Estate Services have completed their due diligence of the Property and based on the site's suitability as a shelter, had recommended it be leased as a City-operated shelter for homeless men as required for the George Street Revitalization project. At its meeting of October 5, 6 and 7, 2016, City Council directed the Director, Real Estate Services, to secure the property at 731 Runnymede Road through a lease on terms that are reasonable and at fair market value. Staff have been unable to secure the property to date and will consider a report in the future to committee and Council.
