2018-2019 Investment in affordable housing annual public reports
Outcomes from the eighth year of the Investment in Affordable Housing program and third year of the Social Infrastructure Fund.
Overview
Joint federal and provincial funding is available for service managers between 2014 and 2020 through the Investment in Affordable Housing (IAH) program. This will improve access to suitable, sustainable and affordable housing across Ontario.
The Social Infrastructure Fund (SIF) under IAH is available for Service Managers to build, renovate, and provide critical affordable housing. This brings the total investment under the IAH program to over $1.6 billion.
Under the IAH and SIF, service managers have the flexibility to select which program components to participate in – such as new rental construction, home repair, housing allowances, rent supplements or home ownership – based on local housing needs in their communities.
