Applicants may receive a grant once every five years for up to 50 percent of the cost of eligible conservation work. Owners of non-house form buildings and any tax exempt properties including house-form buildings may be eligible for a grant equivalent to 50 percent of the cost of eligible conservation work, with no maximum limit. The Toronto Heritage Grant Program is administered by Heritage Planning (HP), City Planning. The City Planning 2021 Operating Budget has a remaining balance of $58,800.00 to be allocated before the end of the fiscal year. The Audley Court Apartment located in the Annex neighbourhood originally constructed in 1912, is an example of this early period of apartment architecture within Toronto. Designed by local architect Joseph Hunt Stanford, it displays many characteristics of the Edwardian Classical Revival style. In the 1980s the building was converted into a condominium with 8 units. The Audley Court Apartments is listed on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the OHA under all three categories of design and physical, historical associative, and contextual value. The application from the Metropolitan Toronto Condominium Corporation No. 704, owners of the Audley Court Apartments, is recommended for a grant award and that the issuing of the grant award be subject to the grant recipient satisfying all conditions as set out in the Letter of Understanding between the City and the grant recipient including the property being designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
