humewood drive housing

Humewood Drive Housing, located near St. Clair and Christie, is for single women looking for affordable long term housing. Each tenant's rent is geared to be no more than 30% of her gross income. Tenants are covered under the Tenant Protection Act and must sign a lease agreeing to its terms.

The house is a double duplex with 4 apartments, housing sixteen single women with no dependents. Each woman has her own unfurnished bedroom, but shares the common areas such as living room, dining room and kitchen with her 3 other housemates.

Humewood Drive Housing is a cooperative living environment where tenants help identify maintenance issues, participate in interviewing prospective tenants and shape programs. Programming helps women meet their needs and includes life skills, job search, financial planning workshops and stress management activities like crafts and gardening.

If you are interested in living in a culturally mixed environment, sharing an apartment with others and being part of a community, please contact us for more information.
