PARKDALE'S NLT LAUNCHES THE PRESERVE & PROTECT HOLIDAY DRIVE!

Thank you! With your generous support, in 2019 the Land Trust made a down payment and acquired on a 15-unit at-risk rooming house on Maynard Avenue! Against huge odds and with your help, we have removed this property from the speculative real estate market.
We have done this to ensure that the tenants of this building will be safe from harassment, above-guideline rent increases, and renovictions. Most importantly, this success will ensure that existing tenants, many of whom are low-income, will continue to enjoy affordable rental housing. Additionally, for any new tenants being considered in the future, priority will be given to those who have experienced homelessness.


Today, we're reaching out to ask you to help us reach another milestone: to fully fund our Holiday Drive to help us continue to quickly secure property for affordable housing in Parkdale!

We need your support. 

 

You love Parkdale because of its diversity, inclusivity, affordability, and commitment to equity. 


How can you preserve the community you love, foster its growth and protect affordable space for those that need it?


The answer is simple: support Parkdale's Neighbourhood Land Trust. 


What we will do.


With your support, Parkdale's Neighbourhood Land Trust purchases and protects land in a community ownership model. Imagine having stable affordable housing, community gardens and green space, and affordable space for local non-profit organizations. Together we can preserve the character of Parkdale and protect its residents. 


Our Goal.


Please join us with a contribution to our Preserve and Protect Holiday Drive. Our goal is to raise $10,000 before December 31st, 2019 to enable the Land Trust to continue to plan to acquire more properties for affordable housing.


The Impact. 

 

The most significant factor in our ability to acquire land is the ability to act quickly. Once the land is secure, we can access other support including government grants and private investment to complete the purchase and develop the property according to PNLT’s needs. But without this Preserve and Protect Fund, we risk losing property, time and again. This has already happened with so many properties that would have been incredible opportunities had we been able to move quickly.


Please support Parkdale's Neighbourhood Land Trust  today!
