Rent Geared to Income

  • Rent is calculated based on 30 percent of a household income to a maximum of the established "market rent" for the social housing unit in the development, or to a maximum of the designated Household Income Limit (whichever is lower).
  • Rent for persons in receipt of Social Assistance (Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support) is in accordance with a scale established in the Social Housing Reform Act, 2000, Ontario Regulation 298/01 and may be changed periodically. The minimum rent for a unit is $85.00.

Market Value Rent

  • Some market rent units are available in private and cooperative non-profit housing developments. These units are rented for amounts similar to private sector units. Applications for market rent units can be made directly with the applicable Housing Provider or through the Central Housing Registry.
