Non-profit housing builds strong communities

Over 200,000 Ontario households — more than 400,000 individuals — live in non-profit housing.

Non-profit housing allows frail seniors to stay in their home communities, offers an affordable home to low-income families, gives disabled people independence, and helps the "hard to house" find and keep a decent home.

Created by volunteer organizations—service clubs, faith or community groups, advocates for people with disabilities—or by municipal councils, non-profit housing is the community's response to people who need a decent place to live.

Non-profit housing receives government funding to make the homes affordable to people with low and moderate incomes. Tenants pay rent based on what they can afford.

Non-profit housing is more than just housing.
