Affordable Housing Information for Developers and Property Owners
Secondary Suites
Apply annually for a forgivable loan to create long-term affordable rental housing on your residential property.
The municipality created the program from its reserves for affordable housing. The secondary suites program increases the supply of long-term rentals by adding units to existing residential properties.
Eligible homeowners and small landlords (fewer than 10 units) could receive non-repayable loans of up to $25,000 to create or substantially renovate secondary units. Funding is an interest-free, non-repayable loan that is forgiven on the condition that the unit is affordable and rented to long-term tenants for a minimum of 15 years.
