Everybody has the right to
affordable housing.
This is what Ontario is doing
to help them obtain it.
In recent months, the Ontario Government
has introduced, or expanded, a number of
measures aimed at putting home ownership
within reach of greater numbers of people,
That means doing two things-- making
- more housing available and helping you to
meet home ownership costs.
Four Ontario Government programs are
directed right at these objectives:
1, Home Ownership Made Easy (H.O.M.E.)
brings home ownership within reach of
many moderate-income earners. Houses
are built on serviced lots which are then
leased by Ontario Housing Corporation
to new homeowners, who may buy the
land after five years. This combination
makes possible lower-than-normal down
payments and carrying costs.
2. Ontario Home Renewal Program (01-11412)
offers grants arid loans for horhe improve-
meats through local municipalities to low
and moderate incOrrie hOmeowners, This
plan works to rehabilitate sub-standard
dwellings— especially those with faulty
structural and sanitary conditions—and
to upgrade plumbing, heating and
electrical systems.
3, Ontario Housing Actioh Program (OHAP)
helps municipalities and developers to
increase the supply of serviced land, thus
lowering the cost of home ownership and
rental accommodations. It also en-
courages the building industry to more
closely match the housing mix to the
purchasing power of the majority of the
population.
4. Ontario Home Buyers Grant provides a
$1,500 grant in three instalments to any
Ontario resident who is 18 or older and
buying a first home. There are no price
or income restrictions but the home must
be the buyer's principal residence and
acquired at fair market value. The pur-
chase must be completed by December
31, 1975 and the buyer must be living in
the home byJune 30, 1976.
