JC Homes is proud to announce the development of #32 Bridge Street, a groundbreaking affordable housing project dedicated to women and women-led families in downtown Brantford. Approved in December 2022, this project is the first to benefit from Brantford’s new Property Tax Increment-Based Grant program, which encourages construction in the downtown area with a focus on rent-geared-to-income units.
The project, set to begin construction in Summer 2024, will feature a purpose-built 4-storey mixed-use building offering 24 affordable housing units, including bachelor, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments. The ground floor will host a social enterprise laundromat café and a Community Hub, providing essential services such as a community kitchen, computer stations, a counselling room, and event space. The development also boasts green spaces and community-accessible washrooms.
JC Homes has launched the Bridge to Home Campaign with a primary goal of raising $1.5 million in donations to support the $10.6 million construction cost. The campaign also aims to increase awareness about Brantford’s urgent affordable housing needs and the significant impact #32 Bridge Street will have on the community.
Led by Campaign Director Marilyn Campbell Davis, a seasoned expert in capital campaigns and major gift fundraising, the Bridge to Home Campaign is poised to make a lasting difference.
