The Regent Park Community Benefits Coalition was formed by the Regent Park Neighborhood Association with support from local community organizations and the Toronto Community Benefits Network. The coalition’s purpose is to improve the revitalization process for better community benefits as part of Phase 4 & 5.
In 2021, the RPNA Regent Park Community Benefits Coalition secured a commitment from TCHC and selected developer partner, Tridel, to include 26.8M as part of a Community Benefits Agreement for Phase 4 and 5.
TCBN would like to acknowledge the leadership of residents and organizations who advocated to ensure the revitalization process prioritizes local community needs including good jobs and training for TCHC tenants and local residents, affordable home ownership, affordable housing including increased RGI, social procurement, community owned space, and investments to support social development. https://www.regentparkcoalition.ca/
