Assistance is also available to landlords owning rooming houses with rents below established levels.
Properties must meet minimum health and safety standards. Assistance is a loan, all or parts of which may be forgiven. Work carried out before the loan is approved in writing is not eligible for funding under this program. For homeowners, the forgivable assistance available varies with household income and the cost of accessibility modifications. A repayable loan can also be provided beyond the provided foregiveable assistance up to the maximum loan amount available.
