Development

NRH has worked with the Federal, Provincial, Regional and local municipal governments to administer the Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program since 2004. The program has offered up funding under Pilot (2004), Wave 1 (2007) and the Affordable Housing Program 2009 Extension.

These new units are owned and managed by private sector and non-profit organizations.

Most of the Affordable Housing Program 2009 Extension units are still under construction with occupancy dates anticipated for Fall 2011 and Winter 2012. Units being constructed under this program include:

Funding for Creating Affordable Housing

There is currently no new funding under the Affordable Housing Program or other programs that NRH administers to fund the development of new affordable housing. New program funding will be announced here on our website. Affordable housing remains a key priority for NRH and we continue to explore opportunities to address this need for our community.
