The Affordable Homeownership Program aims to assist low-to-moderate income renter households, in Simcoe County, to purchase an affordable home by providing 10% down payment assistance (to a maximum of $50,000) in the form of a 20-year forgivable loan.
The Program provides renter households with the opportunity to move to homeownership thereby freeing up rental units, encouraging developers to build affordable housing and fostering demand.
A percentage of available funding will be designated for applicants currently living in Social Housing or those who self-identify as Aboriginal households
