FAQ'S
For more information about St. David’s Village, call us at 416-267-2737
+ Do you have any vacancies?
We do not have any vacancies, there is a waiting list based on a person’s application date.
+ How long will I wait before I’m offered an apartment?
Unfortunately, so many different factors affect our vacancy rate that it is impossible to accurately predict how long a new applicant will wait for an available unit. At times we will offer an estimated waiting time, but we cannot guarantee how long or short a person’s wait will be.
As there are fewer Studio and One-bedroom suites in our building, the wait for these units is much longer than for Bachelor apartments.
+ Do you accommodate emergency placements?
We are not able to offer emergency placements and do not expedite applications based on personal circumstances.
If you are in a situation where you require emergency shelter, please call the City of Toronto Central Intake at 416-338-4766.
Alternately, your local Housing Help Centre can help you access other housing options, find and keep housing, and avoid eviction.
+ How many people are ahead of me on the waiting list?
You will not be told your position on the waiting list as it will vary based on several factors. For example, other applicants may move their names from one list (e.g., size of unit) to another. Applications may be put on hold, reactivated, or current Residents may request internal transfers. In addition, vacancies may be filled from the centralized waiting list for subsidized housing in Toronto rather than our own waiting list.
+ What about parking?
Residents who own a vehicle pay a $30.00 per month parking fee and have a reserved, outdoor parking space.
There is ample visitor’s parking.
+ What about cable and internet?
Residents are responsible for arranging their own phone, cable, and internet services. Residents can choose whichever service provider they prefer.
