Rental Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (Rental RRAP)
spacer
Description Rental RRAP offers financial assistance to landlords of affordable housing by providing a forgivable loan to pay for eligible repairs to self-contained units used by low-income tenants. Eligible repairs are those required to bring properties up to minimum levels of health and safety.
spacer
Coverage

Eligible repairs include all mandatory items which will restore the home to a minimum level of health and safety. Once repaired, the property should have a further useful life of 15 years.

Please note: Work carried out before you receive approval of the Rental RRAP loan in writing, is NOT eligible for funding under this program.

Financial Assistance: Assistance is in the form of a forgivable loan – it does not have to be repaid if certain conditions are met. The maximum loan is between $24,000 and $28,000 per self-contained unit, depending on the location of the property.

The loan covers up to 100 per cent of the cost for mandatory repairs. This is the actual cost of repairs that are eligible to receive funding. (Only mandatory repairs will be considered for funding, and all such repairs must be completed.)

Eligibility

Owners/landlords of affordable, self-contained, housing units may be eligible for assistance under this program. Successful applicants must meet ALL of the following conditions:

  • The total gross household incomes of tenants are at, or below, the established Housing Income Limit (HIL) for the area where the property is located.
  • The projects have pre-RRAP and post-RRAP rents set at, or below, the Median Market Rents (MMR) for the area where the property is located.
  • The property lacks basic facilities or requires major repair in one or more of the following five key areas — structural, electrical, plumbing, heating, fire safety.
