House of Friendship housing project (Charles St E/Eby St) | 10 + 7 fl | Proposed - tomh009 - 12-07-2021 Village on Charles
47-75 Charles St E and 40-42, 50 Eby St 9-floor affordable building with 72 units The proposal appears to retain the tower at 50 Eby St and the low-rise apartment building at 75 Charles St E, but replaces the former House of Friendship shelter and five single-family houses with a 72-unit 9-floor affordable building, including some office space and health office space. Current render: The property: Most of the parcel was already owned by the House of Friendship; 47 Charles St E was owned by the Working Centre, and 40-42 Eby St had private owners. I expect we will know more after the Committee of Adjustment meeting on the 14th. RE: House of Friendship housing project (Charles St E/Eby St) | 9 fl | Proposed - GtwoK - 12-07-2021 I had a letter in the mail about this, as spoke with the person who orchestrated the project (he's the property manager of where I'm living at the moment. I don't remember many detail as I threw the letter out. I do remember him saying this should be the first "phase" though; if funding goes ahead in a few years, theyd like to tear down 75 Charles (3 storey tower on the corner) to build something even taller RE: House of Friendship housing project (Charles St E/Eby St) | 9 fl | Proposed - jshamont - 01-04-2022 Any further details from that community meeting on the 14th? RE: House of Friendship housing project (Charles St E/Eby St) | 9 fl | Proposed - Lens - 01-15-2022 Early days but this looks better than some market housing if you ask me: RE: House of Friendship housing project (Charles St E/Eby St) | 9 fl | Proposed - ac3r - 01-15-2022 Whhhhhhhy they gotta use the staggered windows though haha. That's a trend in design that needs to die already. RE: House of Friendship housing project (Charles St E/Eby St) | 9 fl | Proposed - Acitta - 01-15-2022 Community hub for social housing planned for Charles Street Village on Charles (47 Charles Street East) | 9 fl | Proposed - ac3r - 01-30-2023 House of Friendship is working with WalterFedy Architecture to redevelop its affordable housing project on Charles Street East. The plan is to demolish the existing 3 floor building at 63 Charles Street East. In addition, the existing houses at 47 to 55 Charles Street East will be demolished in order to facilitate the construction of a 9 floor geared to income affordable/supportive housing and community hub project. 40/42 Eby Street will be demolished to construct a driveway to facilitate parking (39 underground spaces) at the new structure. 72 residential units in total are proposed. A 2 floor gym will be constructed, a café, medical clinic, an area for religious/spiritual uses and recreation space on each floor are also proposed. RE: Village on Charles (47 Charles Street East) | 9 fl | Proposed - tomh009 - 01-30-2023 I'm quite happy with this project, we desperately need income-geared housing -- and this even looks pretty decent. RE: House of Friendship housing project (Charles St E/Eby St) | 9 fl | Proposed - westwardloo - 02-01-2023 Project Looks Great. I hope that more of these types of projects can be sprinkled around the region to provide income-geared housing to those in need.

RE: House of Friendship housing project (Charles St E/Eby St) | 9 fl | Proposed - nms - 02-01-2023 House of Friendship’s Innovative ShelterCare Facility Set to Open The media release (dated January 19, 2023 and quoted in full below) mentions that it will open "by the end of the month (eg January)" Quote:House of Friendship is set to open its innovative new ShelterCare facility in Waterloo later this month, where 100 men will receive 24/7 care and onsite health and housing supports. RE: House of Friendship housing project (Charles St E/Eby St) | 9 fl | Proposed - ac3r - 02-01-2023 ShelterCare is a different project than this, located in Waterloo at 190 Weber Street North. It's a shelter, whereas this is actual supportive/transitional/affordable style apartments. This one hasn't started yet.
