The Region of Durham is inviting private and public sector partners to apply for the At Home Incentive Program (AHIP), which supports the development of affordable rental housing through regional capital funding and application support services.

There are more than 1,000 people on Durham Region’s By-Name List as of last August. The list does not include those who are not registered (see below).
To be eligible, projects must provide a minimum of five affordable housing units and may include:
- New construction.
- Converting a non-residential building to purpose-built rental housing.
- Adding a new affordable building to an existing site.
- Adding new units to an existing building.
- Redeveloping community housing to increase the supply of affordable housing units.
