How long will I wait?

You can expect to wait up to 10 years or longer before you are offered housing. During this time you will be contacted annually to update your information. It is very important to keep your file updated or you could risk cancellation.

How much will I pay in rent?

The rent you pay will depend on the program type you applied for and were offered.

What is Rent-Geared-To-Income?

Rent-Geared-To-Income (RGI) assistance is reduced rent that is based on 30% of a household's gross income, or if the household is receiving assistance from Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program, a social assistance rent scale is applied. Additional charges may apply.

What is a Housing Allowance?

Rent is generally calculated one a year based on the household's gross monthly income or if the household is receiving assistance from Ontario Works or Ontario Disability Support Program it is based on the shelter component of their assistance. The household would pay the landlord the new rent amount calculated when this allowance is calculated. The City would pay the allowance portion to the landlord. The maximum amount of the housing allowance is predetermined.

How will you contact me?

Applicants will be contacted annually by mailing address and offers of housing are made over the phone. It is your responsibility to notify us immediately if your phone number or address changes. If we are unable to contact you, your application will be cancelled.

What is Special Priority status?

If you or a member of your household is a victim of domestic violence or human trafficking you may qualify for Special Priority. Please complete the Special Priority Application in addition to our Application for Community Housing.

For more information about the Special Priority Policy and resources for survivors of abuse and trafficking see the Ontario government's web page.

Do you have units for persons with physical disabilities?

Some units are specially modified to accommodate someone with a physical disability. You can print or download a Request for Accessible Accommodations Application or please complete the online Request for Accessible Accommodations Form in addition to our Community Housing Application. Please note that most apartment buildings in our region are accessible and offer elevators.

How do I request ground floor accommodations?

Please fill out a separate Request for Ground Floor Accommodation if required. Applicants and tenants who only want offers of ground floor units, must provide medical verification of a condition or disability that requires a ground floor only unit. Most apartment buildings offer elevators or lifts and have a fire safety plan in place to assist those who require assistance in the event of an emergency. Applicants who request ground floor only accommodation can potentially be waiting longer for a community housing unit.

What happens after I apply?

You will receive notification from Housing Services within 30 days of being added to the waiting list. When it is close to the time when you may receive an offer for housing, you will be notified by phone to provide more detailed information including financial information, proof of citizenship.
