Back to SearchRENFREW COUNTY: The County of Renfrew will open the grant application process for two housing affordability programs beginning June 6.
The programs are Ontario Renovates and Affordable Homeownership.
Ontario Renovates is a program that provides financial assistance to homeowners by way of a forgivable loan to repair their home to acceptable standards while improving the energy efficiency and/or increasing accessibility of their unit. Loans of up to $10,000 (additional funding of up to $3,500 for accessibility) are available. This program is funded by the Investment in Affordable Housing for Ontario Revolving Loan Fund and can help homeowners with eligible repairs including heating systems, windows, roofs, plumbing and accessibility modifications.
The Affordable Homeownership Program aims to assist low-to-moderate-income renter households to purchase affordable homes by providing down payment assistance in the form of a forgivable loan. This program is funded by the Investment in Affordable Housing for Ontario Revolving Loan Fund. Loans of up to $25,000 towards the purchase of a home are available.
For both programs, funding is limited and applicants are encouraged to submit their fully completed applications promptly. Applications along with program rules and conditions are available online at Community Housing - County of Renfrew and at County of Renfrew offices.
Applications will not be accepted prior to June 6, 2022 and they will be approved in the order that they are received once deemed to meet the eligibility criteria.
