Local officials gathered Friday on the site of a new 32-unit housing services building
located at 20 South Street in Trenton to hold a groundbreaking ceremony. Developed
and owned by Hastings County, this new residence will provide safe and affordable
high-quality housing for individuals and families in need.
The project is part of a broader commitment to expanding access to affordable housing across the region.
The 3-storey building will feature 1, 2, and 3-bedroom units and be a mixture of family
and senior units, with ample greenspace, laundry facilities, a gazebo, and parking.
The building been built by Dalren Limited has been designed with energy efficiency and will exceed the Ontario Building
Code standards for energy efficiency by 20%. It has the added benefit of being located
within a 1-kilometre range of transit, grocery store, pharmacy, community centre,
elementary school, library, child care centre, hospital, and neighbourhood park.
“There is a great need for affordable housing across Hastings County and this project is
a step forward in our commitment to supporting our vulnerable residents”, stated
Warden Mullin. “This building will help support families and seniors who are on the
waitlist for affordable housing in Quinte West.”
Hastings County, in partnership with the cities of Quinte West and Belleville, are funding
the $14 million project but will continue to explore potential funding sources to help
offset the capital costs. The project is expected to be completed in late 2026.
