Larry Tod Place

Opened in 2020
32 senior’s one-bedroom apartments  

Opened in 2020, Larry Tod Place reflects MICAH’s continued commitment to creating safe, affordable, and welcoming homes for those most in need. This thoughtfully designed residence provides 32 one-bedroom apartments tailored for seniors, including six accessible, barrier-free units that ensure comfort and independence for residents with disabilities.

Each apartment is designed for one or two occupants, offering between 510 and 610 square feet of well-planned living space. Homes are bright, efficient, and comfortable, giving seniors the security and dignity they deserve. In addition, two apartments are dedicated to 360°kids, extending MICAH’s mission of community support to vulnerable young people in transition.

Larry Tod Place is more than housing — it is a safe, inclusive community where older adults can thrive, connect, and feel at home. By blending accessibility, affordability, and care, MICAH has created a residence that honours seniors while extending compassion to the next generation.
