TCHC (400-410 McCowan Rd, Scarborough)

This started over some personal angst about not being approved yet for the TCHC media contact list and noticing that TCHC had the audacity to pull off a press conference in the hood just east of me. When I saw the clips on the evening news I noticed over the shoulders of the politicians that the exteriors of the townhouse units weren't finished.  

​Then up pops this post on Facebook with a selection of photos attached that reads in part- "The homes are part of Toronto Community Housing’s commitment to clean, safe homes for tenants."  ​I just had to go see for myself.  

​On the one hand, I wasn't disappointed because I came home with pictures of exactly the opposite of a clean and safe neighbourhood.  On the other, I was hugely disappointed because of what appears to be complete construction chaos.

Try living in this while construction is going on all around you..That is exactly what i had to do as i had lived in one of the units that is being "repaired:. We had no access to our backyards for 3 years prior to construction starting and then to be told we had to be relocated because our units were not safe. We only had 4 months to be able to find another temporary place . Looks like no work has progressed in the 8 months that i have left and they advised us that we should be able to return to our units at the end of the new .. What a joke TCHC has become...
