Rental Development Program

The Rental Development Program (RDP) provides a forgivable loan to sponsors (owners/developers) that want to build affordable rental housing and provide supports to low-income households in communities with a demonstrated need. The loan is forgiven over a period of up to 20 years, depending on the amount of the loan.

Rental Development Program funding is allocated through a Request for Proposals.

The RDP is currently accepting Expressions of Interest (EOI). Please click here for the information pamphlet.
