Dear Ms, McPhail,

Re: Letter of Support Lynwood Charlton Centre

It is my pleasure to submit this letter of support with respect to Lynwood CharltonCentre application to utilize the building at 121 Augusta Street, Hamilton as a newresidential site.

The Children's Aid Society of Hamilton has had a longstanding a partnership withLynwood Charlton Centre spanning over 50 years in providing treatment and support tosome of the most vulnerable youth and families in our community.

The care provided by Lynwood Charlton to the youth in their care is of the highestquality. They have sewed hundreds if not thousands of children, who without LynwoodCharlton Centre's intervention would not been reintegrated with their families or becontributing members of our community. Furthermore, the quality of the care theyprovide and the professionalism of their staff is a reflection of the dedication andcommitment of its leadership.

At times there are perceptions that allowing residences such as Lynwood CharltonCentre is proposing at 121 Augusta St. disrupt neighbourhoods or place other childrenat risk. I can attest that this most certainly not the case. Lynwood Charlton Centreoperates other residences in our community and have demonstrated their commitmentto being part of the neighbourhood, respective of neighbours, and most of allresponsive is any issues may arise.

Serving Hamilton's children and families since 1894.

Dear Ms. McPhail:

Re,; Zoning By~Law Application121 Augusta Avenue(Lynwood Chartton Centre)

On behalf of the HanTilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board, I am submitting this letter in support of the recentrequest of the administrative executives of the Lynwood Charlton Centre to the City of Hamilton to allow zoning by-lawapproval to the current site at 12J Augusta Avenue,

The long.history of the efficacy of the program and services provided by the former Charlton House and Lynwood Hail toprotect and support some of our moat disenfranchised and vulnerable teenaged females has demonstrated theprofessionalism of the staff and organizations. ..

The proposal submitted by the Lynwood Char#on Centre clearly establishes the need to have a facility that is morestructurally appropriate to meet the needs of these young women. The administrators continue to be committed toensuring that the property is well maintained and that all appropriate supports are in place at all times to enable theclients to lead a safe, healthy lifestyle in this alternate living environment,

As an essential component of the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board's commitment to an inclusivephilosophy of "Each Belongs ", we ask that the Development Planning Team grant the re-zoning request for 121 AugustaAvenue and help provide a suitable living accommodation for any young teenaged woman who is in a risk situation.Social justice and empathy to the fragile members of our society must continue to be promoted and enhanced in Hamilton.

Thanking you in advance for your consideration.

This is an extremely important and valuableservice for this population in the City of Hamilton.

I have always been impressed by how well the residential programs are managed.Staff.consistently demonstrate a high level of professionalism and skill - a reflection Ibelieve, of the dedication and commitment of the leadership of Lynwood CharltonCentre.

The Catholic Children's Aid Society of Hamilton is fully supportive of the use of 121Augusta Street as a residential treatment home for adolescent girls. This importantservice is very much needed in the City and given it can no longer be provided at theCharlton Street address, the transfer to the Augusta Street site seems mostreasonable given the similar use of the site in the past few years.

We do hope you will give positive consideration to the Zoning application presentedby Lynwood Charlton Centre. I would be happy to speak with you directly if you wish.Please feel free to contact me at 905-525-2012 X 3317.

Re: Impact of prope rty at 1.35 Forest Avenue.

As a foiÿoW-up to our discussion reÿ,atd!npÿ theapplicat]0n for a zoning by4aw change for the property at

description.of the residmqce owned and operated by Lynwood HailChild and Family Centre and its

pote.ntia,t impact on the establishment of an 8 bed residence for teenagedBids at 12& Augusta,

The residence at Foresthas operated as a 5 bed residence for youth, male and female, between the

ages of&2 and :[8forover 2 years, The youth who. reside.at the residence arediageosed:as having a dual

diagnosis, having developmental and intellectual chatlengesas well as rnental-heÿaith issues. Althotÿgh

the residence has a maximum bed capadty of 6 beds the operating practice has been maintained at4

youth at anyp=iven time as a result oÿ the.needs of the dietÿts who use the residence, The prolÿrarn

provides a place of residence for ÿvo.clients whose.families.are unable to have.them live at home and

the remain]ng beds are used bybetween I2 andÿL4 youth on a rotating basis throughout each month,

providing ÿespite for theirfamilies as.a.support to allow the-youth to remain in their family homes,

The staffing levelsfor the residence is.2-3 staff pet shift during the waking hoursof the. day and evenin!ÿ

and 2 awake staff during, the overnighthours, The residents require..conÿtant supervision aÿd the

staffing leveJs are set to ensure that the clients are safe and const.antfy cared for, The clienÿrequired

constant care atÿd therefore do. not go out into the community, withoÿJtÿstaff accompanying.them,

OPEN RESPONSE

and

Deirdre Finlay, Executive DirectorChariton Hal! Child and Family Centre

August 20ii

We have jointly prepared thisopen response to a number of concerns and misperceptionsraised through the Zoning By4aw Application process for the prope,dy at t:21 AugustaStreet.

Before addressing the concerns raised, we feel it important to clearly articulatewhat ishappening with. our two organizations, Lynwood and Chadton have Operated as twocharitable organizations providing children's mental beatth services tothe Ha-miltoncommunity for over 147 and 92 years respectively, in .order to optimize limited publicresources and ensure quality service into the future, our two organizations have made adecision to merge and become one organizat]on, Lynwood Charlton Centre, effectiveOctober ÿIÿ, 201 l. We believe that. drawing upon the ÿtrengths of both organizations andaffecting mcÿre.effident.operations, will result in a.strongeq single, o_rganization, AlexThomsonÿ witl continue to provide leadership to the new erganizat[onÿ, and Deirdre Finlaywill be retiring and remain in a consulting rote with the new organization,

The Re.Zoning By-law Application and the Nÿmbers;It is. apparent to us from many ÿf the concerns raised in response to the ca.II for commentsteQ some.wiÿ:ha perception thai: we have been tess than ÿrÿnsparent about our intention,We would !ike to. ctear the air in this regard.

From the beginning we have been cÿear about our interest in establishing a residence.for .8adolescent girls.(a transÿr ofÿe existing Charlton Hall :program from its :current location)and that wewould berequired to undertake a byqawrezoning application, which we.are inthe process of completing_ We have attacheU the original flyer that we distributed widely inthe neighbourhood for the-'ÿOpen House" in March in which we deariy declared both thenumber of beds sought as 8, and that we were engaged in a rezoning application, It isunforÿunale:that there seems!o have been sÿme miscommuniÿatlon-or misunderstandingat the "Open House' and that thiSÿ along wJÿh unascribed misinformation, has resulted inmispeÿception regarding.our intenUonÿ AddJ.t.iona!ly, it; seems that we may haveinadvertently- added.to amL misundeÿstandincjs with the wordihg, of.a. ne[ghSourhood flyerwhic:h we issued in early April (:also. attached) regardingsome work on the site, tn the.ÿtflyerwe used the: wording "eight. teen girls" which lead some to be!Jeve.that we were trying toestablish a residence for 18 girls. The wording would have been better aÿiculated as "eightteenaged gids"

So.-we want to be clear we are hoping to establish an 8 bed residerÿce (and' only 8 bedS)on the second floor atAugusta and we have .been engaged in a.by-faw rezoning processfi:om.the beginning,. OurT#osit[on has been consistent since the beginning:of .thisendeavour and has not. changed sinOe the time we first began this exercise,

The History of the ,Site:The property at 12.t Augusta has a tung hitstory of tertiary industrial use, including operatingas a flour mill and a.boek binding company over the yearsÿ

In i995 the property was purchased by Community AdoJescen_t Network (CAN), achildren's mental heaÿth centre serving mainly adolescent& During the tenure of operationby CAN, it was host to a variety of on-site programs including a Supewised Access Centreoperated by CAN for the Children's Aid Society (CAS), where families.visited, under staffsupervision, with their children who were in the care of the CAS. This prose-am operated onsite for nearly 10 years. Subsequent to the departure of the Supervised. Access Program,Banyan Youth Services renÿed space at the Augusta site and for nearly 5, years operated akids group program there through the evening hours, and throughout the summer. Finally,for the past two years we have had an al[emative classroom on site for adolescentsinvolved with Charlton Hall and the Hamilton Wentworth Distdct Board of Education, Ourundersta0ding is that these programs have been operating in the neighbourhood quite wetffor the past 16 years.

Our Proposal:Lynwood Hail Child and Family Centre purchased the property in 2009at 12! AugustaStreet from CAN, inheriting the Banyan lease and operation, and subsequently renting-space toCharlton Hall to establish an alternative community based classroom on the site.As with the prbr uses, t-hese programs have proven to operate welt on the site in a mannerwhich has been .accepted by the community,

Since Our joint determination to merge our organizations we have incJuded as part of ourplan to-attend to efficienciesby eÿqvJsJoning the transfer ofall the Chartton Halÿ programsthe. 8 bed Fesidence and a classroom) to the Augusta site #am their current location enChaÿifton Avenue West. Part of the determination to accomplish this has been taken as aresutt of the current state ofthe Ohadton site where the program has been housedforSOyears. The two buildings which house the. Charlton programs are owned by the C;ty ofHamilton and have been leased ti3. Char[ten for its use. for 50. years.

The state ef structural disrepair of the facilities .poses a significant challenge for the Citywhose 2006 Facility Condition Assessment Report determined that needy $900.,000 ofsubstantial repairs was required to provide an appropriate levet of repair and remedy, Notsurprisingly, the City is not prepared to attend to these ÿepairs. As a result of theÿe€}rcumstances we have proposed a plan that would aliew us to transfer the programs to anewly refurbished location which weutd be safer and more functional for the 8 youtlg teen8vCac, reside in the residential programÿ We will .accomplish this using our 0wrÿ resources.This will allow the City to take back thÿ Charlton_site for subsequent use as determined bythe Cÿty,

Respondingto Identiÿed Concerns:

Our Kids:We are paÿiculafly concerned that some of the responses seem to equate the impact ofour kids' relocation with that of prostitutes and crack.houses. Whileÿour kÿds do have somespecia! needs, these challenges affect them most acuteiy and do not intrude on others,Overall, they are like any .other teens in .the city, aÿl ef whom have.varying challenges ÿritheir lives and lessons to be learned en route to adulthood:

2t5

The good news is that our kids are-in a residence that is staffed 24 hours a day wÿth aminimal of 2 staff on every shift, including during the night. Out teens are involved in manystructured aclivjties and well supervised, '

it.is our experience in the current Chadton Avenue location that there have been verylimited neighbodqood interruptions and when there are issues it's a matter of a telephonecall to our staff who wiJl respond to making adjustments to our programming as necessary,

During the day, our kids go to schoolÿ and for the most parL weendeaver to have themengage in positive activities that will heÿp us achieve our ultimate goal, and that is directing.them back to theirfamilies who live in a variety of locations throughout-our communityÿThese are girls who inWally come from and ultimately return to homes in.various locationsacross the City includit!g this very neighbourhOod.

Concern about the Downtown Location:CharRon Hail has operated the Residential program for young women for 50 years in theDurand neighbourhood (part of the same ward as theAugusta area-), As part of the

• programming, Charltan Hall has tong history of accessing and using a.range of sÿ_tes andservices available in the downtown core Such as the Central Library, the YWCA, theFarmers" Market, Bayÿont Park and the YMCA".8 Career Works. The teens residing in theResidence.do not typically have a significant, amount of unsdpported/unpianned communitytime, The Chadton Hall team has many years of experience in safety planning with teengirls and in having them function.quite well in an Urban Core setting.

RecreatJonaJ Space:.Although the comments are accurate regarding the lack of-green space on the.Augustasite, the proximity of.Shamrock Park and the relÿiance, on the. YWCA and other activities wilt.be appropriately used by the program. A comprehensive recreationa! program invoMngloca!, conservation areasÿ camp trips, and regional outings, along-with individualparti.cipation in activities such as dance !essons.and s. occer delivers a balanced array ofr.ecreatienat activities that are not dependent on any single space. Charlton.Hall'8 currentlocation is simi}ariyadjacent to Durand Park andthe teens use .it appropriately wÿh noevidence of their invoJvement ÿn.any vandalism or disturbances at that park or eÿsewhere inthe ne]ghbourhoed. Further, the residential gifts will c.ontirÿueÿo make recÿ:eatio-nal .use ofLynwood's property on the mountain which provides a gym and one half acre of outdoorspace within a ten minute drive from Augusta. Finalty, many of the:-girls spend:a:t ieast apoÿon ÿftheir schooÿ vacadon and weekend, time wiÿ.h theirfamilies in their ramify homes.For these reasons, we are confiderÿ that the actMties at the Augusta. site.will in no Wayundermine or dimLn, ish the enjoyment of Shamrock Park by the rest of the community,

ncreased Traffic:The past use of the Augusta site has been active and with both foot and vehicle trafficconstantly accessing the sffe over-many years. It is our contention that our proposal will notresu!t in a significant increase in such traffic.

With regard to increased public vehicle in:terrupÿions to the-neighbourhood, Lynwood hasoperated a s-mall 6 bed facility' on Forest Avenue for youth ¢2- 18 who have developmentalchallenges and. mental health issues for ever 2 yearÿ.

3/5

Our experience-in those 2 years is as follows: 2 fire department responses to false alarms,2 police responses and ! ambulance response., We wouÿd e2pect that the apartmentbuildings along Forest Avenue generate more public vehicle interruptions, Like Lynwood,over the past two years, Char]ton has expedericed-a single ambulance respDnse and nofire department responses,.

Propertyyal.ues:In Fesponse to concern about property values we ÿre responsible neighbours. Lynwood hasa proven track record of managing propert!es and ensuring that they are well meintained,tidy and compatible with the cutture and streetscape of the neighbourhood. Our ]ocÿtion enForest is a fine example of that, one drive-by will reassure you.of our commitment tothis,We will similarly be FesponsibJe f-or the Augusta site with the same interests, Ourcommitment to the neighbourhood is to Fevitaÿize the buiJding at !2't Augusta. This willinc}ude a..faceiA on the eAerior d the property and a long term commitment to maintainingthe property in line-with the aspirÿtfons of the rÿeKghbourhood.

Proximity and Concentration af Service Orclsnizations:In making an application for a re.zoning by-law change we fully recognize the City's by-lawrequiring a 300 meter separation of residential service organizaÿfons.,With this in mind wewould like.to articulate the rÿtiortale for .our need to transfer the residential program fromCharften te the.Augusta.siÿ.e.,

First ,and foremost, the Chariton site is in desperate condition (as reported bythe Cityrsown 2006 Facility Condition Assessment Repc;rt) andthe City has determined that they willnot spend the funds needed to bring it upto the level of condition necessary.. It is at:risk ofbeing unsafe for tÿhe residents and it is poody designed for its currentuse,

Currently both sÿes are in ihe same City ward and the both sites have housed a variety ofchildrenÿs mental health services-over many years, 50 years at the Charlton site and aearly16 at the Augusta site.

The concentration and proximity of other service sites to the Charlton site is heavilyconcentrated with many adult residential services in theDura-ndneighbourhood. AEthoughthere, are certainly otÿer residential service sites in the Corktown ne!ghbourhood theconcentration is vastly Less heavy., as evidenced by City Planning. Department informationprovided to us, Our site at Augusta would be withiÿ the 300 meter range for a homewhichhouses 6 developmentally challenged adults and our Lynwood residence for 6 youth withdevelopmental challenges. Our proposal is ta spread the concentration differently with aninterest to balance the intent of the by-law within a building and in a way that wifl nat bedisruptive to the neighborhood cu[f.uÿ or street, scape.

From our experience with these facilities and our knowledge of activities at the home fordeveÿopmentatiy-challenged adults, we are cÿnfident thaÿ: neiLher of these three operationswill have any type of adverse impact on the community,

As we explored the def.aits af the byqaw, we find the current site is prÿ3vided with a bit of ahDId]ng, zone that would anticipate future rezoning.to an 'E' zone,. This would petrelup to20 residents in a residentia! caÿe facJ[it.y which is equal tothe capacity of the proposeddevelopment., the Lynwaod. site "on Forest. Avenue, and the existing home forthedeveJapmentaliy challenged adults on Catherine Streetall put together. While therequirements of the-byqaw would tend to prefer this approach, we.believe that our proposaImÿkes mare sense. 415

Summaÿ

We are excited about this new opportunity that will allow our organiz£a'tion to provide theimportant services needed by our community that contribute to developJi!g a healthycommunity and also contribute to making Hamilton the best community in which to raise achild, We witt be investing funds to readapt, reuse, and upgrade a former industrialbuiJding. Many of the activities on the site witl continue in a manner similar to the way theproperty has been used for the past 16 years.

Given our longstanding history and our experience, and the confidence we have in ourexpectations of our future role in your commurlity, we believe that by fuUl and opendialogue, any fears or apprehensions there may be about our c!]ent groupÿ our organizationor how we function within the neighbourhood, can be dispelled,

We have collectively over 200 years of experience in.properly responding to these speciatneeds in our community in a manner which has allowed us to fit quite weJl into a resident:iatneighbourhood and not only utilize, but also contribute to, the range of sen,ices,committees, functions and programs in the downtown area and within the residentialcommunities in which we reside.

To whom it may concern,

My family and I have been the immediate neighbor of Chartton Hall at Charlton Ave. W. in Hamilton since t997. I amriting to you today to offer my support for this facilities efforts to create a new combined facility.

It is not that I would Iike to see my neighbor go. Quite the opposite. I would hope that they would stay here. They havebeen and continue to be the best type of neighbor a young family could ask for. Mways considerate and available, wehave in the past 13 years only had very small issues that together we were able to resolve.I would hope that the new neighborhood could put aside their fears of the unknown and embrace the efforts of LynwoodCharlton and welcome them as part of their commurÿity.

Thank you,
