Rental Development Program

The Rental Housing Component of the Ontario Priorities Housing Initiative (OPHI) and the Indigenous Supportive Housing Program (ISHP) provide financial assistance, in the form of interest-free, forgivable loans to non-profit Indigenous Housing Providers (IHP) or partnerships between private sector and non-profit IHPs, for the purpose of increasing the supply of community rental housing under OPHI and supportive housing under ISHP, for off-reserve Indigenous households within the GTA.

Both programs address the need for safe, adequate, and affordable rental housing for the Indigenous community within the GTA. Additionally, the ISHP focuses on the creation of supportive housing with the provision of supports and services to enhance long-term housing stability for those experiencing homelessness or precariously housed.
