Councillors on the finance and corporate services committee will vote Sept. 5 on a staff recommendation to purchase the Diocesan Centre at 1245 Kilborn Place, an 8.7-acre parcel of land with a three-storey building.
"The acquisition of 1245 Kilborn Place is a unique and rare opportunity for the City to acquire lands in close proximity to transit, community services and amenities that could be utilized to meet future housing needs," staff say in the report.The Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall owns the property, and the existing buildings have been vacant since December 2020.
Staff say the purchase "is a result of a sustained and increasing need for supportive housing," with 369 people on the waitlist for supportive housing as of June 1. "The site would facilitate co-location of community and health services, development of a range of new housing options and, offer options for systems and resource coordination."
