Rapid Housing initiative

The Rapid Housing Initiative aims to create new affordable housing for people and populations who are vulnerable. The RHI provides contributions under two streams to expedite the delivery of affordable housing. It will:

  • Support the creation of new permanent affordable housing units

  • Cover the construction of new rental housing units, the acquisition of land, and the conversion/rehabilitation of existing buildings to affordable housing.

  • Aim to commit all funds as quickly as possible to ensure housing is available within 12 months of agreements unless otherwise agreed upon.

For additional support, SHIP has provided the Affordable Housing Inventory and Needs Report.
