In 2023, BB cited a report finding that the average cost for a rental unit in Toronto was around $2,520, and claimed that the “fair market price for a one-bedroom apartment and two-bedroom apartment in one of our Toronto buildings is $1,232 and $1,563, respectively.”

The buildings have cumulatively received tens of millions of dollars in funding from Canadian governments.

Earlier this year, I received a tip from someone claiming another person was told that BB no longer rents units in its buildings to non-Jews.

Upon receiving this tip, I called the contact number listed on the BB website for market rent units in the two senior buildings and said I wanted more information about them for my parents. I called from a private number and didn’t provide my real name.

The Greenwin agent who answered immediately asked, “Your parents are seniors, I believe, and Jewish, right?”

I replied, “My parents are seniors, but they’re not Jewish. Is that an issue?”

They stated, “This is a residence facility for seniors who are Jewish.”

I asked if this was because of a law. They replied, “No, like I said, you said you are not Jewish, right?” After I answered, they stated, “So you need to find another facility for seniors.”
