Many municipalities all over Ontario offer funding to help people become property owners (otherwise known as "tax-paying citizens"). Taxes help cities and towns fund civic services and build infrastructure, and therefore, new buyers are not only sought after but necessary for economic growth and prosperity. Purchasers can use these incentives alone or together with the Federal Government's Shared Equity Program to help get their foot in the door of the real estate market. Here is a list of programs currently funded by the federal and provincial governments through the Investment in Affordable Housing (IAH) Program. To apply, you must receive a Mortgage Pre-Approval. Please contact a mortgage broker, trust company, credit union, bank, or another qualified lender of your choice to apply for a no-cost mortgage pre-approval. You can also start the process by APPLYING here. We specialize in providing the proper form of pre-approval documentation geared for these programs. Programs are available all year. 1.
