Durham Region affordable housing efforts continue with the launch of the At Home Incentive Program (AHIP), inviting private and public sector partners to apply for funding to develop affordable rental housing. This year, $8 million is available through AHIP to support new and existing projects.
Eligible projects must provide a minimum of five affordable rental units and may include:
-
New construction
-
Converting non-residential buildings to purpose-built rental housing
-
Adding a new building to an existing site
-
Adding units to an existing building
-
Redeveloping community housing to increase affordable units
Since its inception, the AHIP has funded over $30.5 million, creating 350 new affordable rental units across Ajax, Clarington, Oshawa, Pickering, Scugog, Uxbridge, and Whitby.
Applications are open until April 2, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. For detailed information and submission instructions, visit durham.ca/AHIP.
Through this initiative, Durham Region affordable housing programs aim to ensure that more residents have safe, accessible, and affordable rental housing in the region.
