Announced in June 2024, the City of Kitchener is providing a $10,000-per-unit grant to help build more than 500 new not-for-profit affordable housing units. Funding will help cover early project costs for developments that provide not-for-profit supportive, affordable rental or affordable co-op housing units.

This housing announcement marks another milestone in the relationship between the Federal Government, City of Kitchener and community partners to get more affordable housing built throughout our community. This program is part of Kitchener’s Housing for All vision and is supported through the Federal Government’s Housing Accelerator Fund initiative.

To celebrate the funding, KW Habilitation and officials from the Government of Canada and City of Kitchener broke ground on the 878 Frederick Street site that will accommodate 18 supportive housing units.
