Money is now available to build affordable housing in the District of Muskoka. Through the Muskoka Affordable Housing Initiatives Program (MAHIP), two new funding programs have opened up to help people build more rental housing. “This program helps property owners and developers create more rental housing and helps more residents find housing,” said Arfona Zwiers, commissioner of community and planning services. “It also supports the district’s commitment to help build a community where everyone has a place to call home. Every new unit created through this program is more than a number — each one helps residents and families in our community find affordable housing in Muskoka,” Zwiers said. Two Funding Streams Capital Incentive Program: Multi-Residential Rental Units Capital Incentive Program: Additional Residential Units Applications close May 1.
