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.

Call 613.476.2148 ext 1529 or eziegler@pecounty.on.ca for more information on applying.

Developer Support

County of Prince Edward Planning and Building staff can help navigate zoning requirements when creating the physical elements of a new or expanding development. In order to connect with the most appropriate staff and receive a timely response, please call 613.476.2148 extension 2040 or fill in and submit a development inquiry form.

The Housing Department can assist developers, both non-profit and private sector, with developments that will include affordable housing units. Staff can provide community information and planning requirements.
