Rôle de la Ville dans l'écosystème du financement du logement

En tant que gestionnaire de services désigné par la Province de l'Ontario, la Ville de Kawartha Lakes est responsable de l'administration des programmes de logement et de prévention de l'itinérance pour la Ville de Kawartha Lakes et le Comté de Haliburton. Cette responsabilité inclut l'allocation de fonds provinciaux et fédéraux vers des programmes de logement communautaire, de suppléments au loyer et de services aux sans-abri.

Programmes de financement du logement abordable

Le Programme d'objectifs de logement abordable comprend plusieurs volets:
  • Programme de réhabilitation multi-unités (MURP) - Assistance financière aux propriétaires pour réhabiliter des espaces locatifs afin d'atteindre des loyers abordables
  • Programme de développement de nouvelles résidences (NHDP) - Financement aux développeurs pour atteindre des prix de vente abordables
  • Programme de développement de nouvelles locations (NRDP) - Aide financière pour les projets de location abordable
  • Programme de suppléments au loyer (RSP) - Paiements mensuels aux propriétaires pour couvrir l'écart entre le loyer payé par le locataire et le loyer du marché
  • Programme de secondaire (SSP) - Subventions aux propriétaires pour créer des unités de location secondaires abordables

Autres programmes et services

Le Plan de logement et de sans-abrisme 2020-2029 décrit également: les allocations de logement, l'aide à l'accession à la propriété pour les premiers acheteurs, le programme Kawartha Haliburton Renovates pour les améliorations écoénergétiques et l'accessibilité, les prestations de logement portables, et les services de prévention de l'itinérance.

Gouvernance et reddition de comptes

Le plan est élaboré en vertu de la Loi sur les services de logement de l'Ontario (2011) et fait l'objet d'un examen quinquennal obligatoire. La Ville produit un rapport annuel sur le logement abordable et publie les résultats régulièrement.
