DRRSB Accepting Applications for Ontario Renovates Program
The District of Rainy River Services Board (DRRSB) is accepting applications for low-income households in the Rainy River District needing repairs to their principal residence.
Interested homeowners can apply under the Ontario Priorities Housing Initiative (OPHI) – Ontario Renovates Program (ORP). The ORP offers financial assistance to low-income homeowners who need repairs to their homes. The program is primarily aimed at low income homeowner(s) who live in substandard dwellings and cannot afford the repairs that are necessary to make their home safer and healthier to live in and/or to make improvements that increase seniors’ accessibility and address mobility issues.
Target client groups for the ORP include, but are not limited to, seniors, persons with disability, four provincial priorities for ending Homelessness, low income singles and families, or residents of remote communities.
Qualifying homeowners will receive funding from DRRSB to undertake repairs as a grant/loan forgiveness at a rate of 10% per year for 10 year period.
