Following Council’s approval of the Modular Bridge Housing Community project in May 2023, construction was completed November 16, 2023 and residents began moving into their units on November 27, 2023.

Each of the 50 units has a heating and cooling appliance. The units are furnished with bed frames, bed mattresses, bedding, a mini fridge, shelving, and storage space. Residents will also be supplied with dressers, chairs, laundry baskets, cutlery, night stands and lamps.

A key feature of the Modular Bridge Housing Community is a service hub to support the residents accessing available services and staff support on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Elizabeth Fry Society operates the site on behalf of the City. Operations are using provincial funding from the Homelessness Prevention Program.

The City of Peterborough, Elizabeth Fry Society and other agencies who support individuals living outside collaborated on the selection of the people who were offered units in the Modular Bridge Housing Community. All individuals selected were experiencing unsheltered homelessness.

The City’s emergency shelter network, operated by community partner agencies, offers 127 shelter beds.

The modular bridge housing site is part of the City’s Interim Housing Solutions strategy approved by City Council.

The goal of this initiative is to provide residents with stable connections to support services and help progress people toward permanent housing.
