Secondary Suites Program

​​​​​​​​The Secondary Suites Program provides funding of up to $30,000 per unit for the creation of a secondary or garden suite which is an effective means to increase the supply of affordable housing.​​

Application intake for the Secondary Suites Program is year round. However, funding is limited and is provided on a first-come first-served basis to eligible applicants.

For application details, review the Application Package.
