In the advancement of our Strategic Plan goal of supporting housing affordability, the City purchased 407 Sheila Court, a property in Pittsburgh District, to be used for supportive housing. Supporting Housing programs in Kingston have provided essential services to members of the community and supported them in their individual goals and to achieve independent living.

This page houses all information and updates regarding the supportive housing opening in Kingston's Pittsburgh District. Projects and resources for engagement will be shared on this page. Subscribe to stay informed and involved in this initiative.

Near-neighbours (residents living within a 150m radius) of 407 Sheila Court have been invited to join Tipi Moza (Ironhomes) and City of Kingston staff to learn more about the new supportive housing planned in Pittsburgh District.

If you live outside the 150-metre radius and did not receive a near-neighbour invitation, we invite you to attend a webinar on March 4, 2026. During the webinar, operators will introduce the supportive housing program and address concerns through a moderated Q&A session. We also invite you to stay current and updated through Get Involved Kingston, where information and opportunities for input on integration of the supportive housing project will be shared.

  • 407 Sheila Court - Supportive Housing Near-Neighbour Community Meeting Update

    This information was sent by email on Jan. 21 to everyone who registered for the near-neigbhour meeting.


    Dear Sheila Court community,

    We are reaching out today to share an update about the supportive housing meeting planned for Wednesday, Feb. 4 at Kingston East Community Centre to let you know we are adapting the meeting format and schedule in response to community feedback about public consultation on this project. Rather than a single large town hall meeting, Tipi Moza and the City will host two smaller in-person meetings at the Kingston East Community Centre and a webinar. We know there is a lot of interest in the project, and these changes increase capacity to meaningfully engage.

    The near-neighbour meetings are reserved for residents within a 150-metre radius of 407 Sheila Crt. who received the information handout from Tipi Moza and the City in December. Up to two members from each household are invited to register. The updated form asks you to confirm your address and provides an opportunity to let us know what we can do to help you best participate during the session.

    If you live outside the 150-metre radius and did not receive a near-neighbour invitation, we invite you to attend a webinar on March 4, 2026. During the webinar, operators will introduce the supportive housing program and address concerns through a moderated Q&A session. We also invite you to stay current and updated through Get Involved Kingston, where information and opportunities for input on integration of the supportive housing project will be shared.

    Through the engagement process so far, we have heard that having meaningful conversations is important to people who live near to the property, and our goal is that through this adjusted engagement format we can include as many people and perspectives as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience re-registering for the meeting may cause. Please reach out to GetInvolvedKingston@cityofkingston.ca if we can assist.

    Regards,

    The 407 Sheila Crt. Supportive Housing Team

    Tipi Moza & City of Kingston

  • Pittsburgh Supportive Housing Update

    Today, we are sharing an update on the Operator and location of the Supportive Housing project in the Pittsburgh District. A brief overview is below and next steps are below, with and read on for more details

    • We can now announce that 407 Sheila Court is the recently acquired Pittsburgh District Supportive Housing site.

    • Tipi Moza (Iron Homes) will be operating the site.

    • Tipi Moza (Iron Homes) operates multiple housing sites, and you can learn more at their website: Tipi Moza (Iron Homes)

    • A near neighbour meeting will be hosted by Tipi Moza (Iron Homes) on February 4, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Kingston East Community Centre.

    • As there is a strong need for Supportive Housing in our community, Tipi Moza (Iron Homes) and the City are looking to have this site open and operating in Q2 of 2026.

    • Renovations are needed on the property, and work will be starting December 22, 2025.

    In the advancement of our Strategic Plan goal of supporting housing affordability, the City has purchased 407 Sheila Ct. to be used as supportive housing. The funding for supportive housing acquisitions initiative was approved by Council on Aug. 12, 2025, and Council approved submitting conditional offers for this property and one other at its meeting on Oct. 21, 2025. To protect the confidentiality of property owners, the address was not shared until the property was vacant and ready for renovations.

    Tipi Moza is an urban First Nation, Metis and Inuit housing provider developed under the CMHC Urban Native Housing Program (post 1985). It was founded in 1989 by members of the Indigenous community, in response to the need for subsidized housing for First Nation, Metis and Inuit families. To secure operators for each site, the City issued a Request for Supplier Qualifications (RFSQ) for operators that have demonstrated experience and expertise in operating supporting housing properties.

    These supportive housing units are intended for individuals who have been staying in shelters for an extended period and are ready to transition to more stable housing but have been unable to do so due to a shortage of appropriate options. While these units are not designed for people with high needs who typically reside in encampments, they will help ease pressure on the shelter system by creating additional capacity without the need to add new shelter locations or beds.

    The next steps for this project are property renovations and community engagement. Renovations will begin in the new year. Invitations to the near-neighbour meeting run by Tipi Moza at the beginning of February 2026 are being delivered to houses within a 150-metre radius of 407 Sheila Ct and shared on this Get Involved Kingston page. This community outreach by the operator will allow those living closest to 407 Sheila Ct to ask questions, learn about residents and understand the kinds of care and tenancy that will happen at the site.

    Supportive housing plays a crucial role in the housing continuum, offering stable accommodations and essential support to individuals who fall between emergency shelter services and independently managed affordable housing. Kingston currently has more than 235 supportive housing units spread across 28 locations. Further information about supportive housing properties in Kingston can be found in Council Report 25-218 from Sept. 2, 2025.

    Through meaningful engagement with Tipi Moza, this supportive housing project will become another success story in our community that promotes the comfort, safety, and dignity of all.
