Affordable Housing Program

There is now a solution for people who are renting and want to own a home, but have limited access to the necessary funds for a downpayment. This solution is The Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program (AHP). The AHP makes home ownership affordable for low and moderate-income households across Ontario. The AHP provides up to 5 percent down payment assistance for eligable consumers when purchasing a home.


Applicants must:
  • be 18 years and older

  • renting

  • have combined household income at or below the maximum level

  • qualify for mortgage financing

The price of the purchase must not exceed the AHP's eligible value, and must be modest in size relative to community standards.
