Eleven of the 15 affordable housing developments are proposed by non-profit housing providers, and of these, three are by Indigenous groups. The recommended developments follow a competitive Call for Applications under the Open Door Program which was issued on September 15, 2020 and closed on November 17, 2020.

The applications were reviewed and assessed by an interdivisional committee of staff from the Housing Secretariat, City Planning, Shelter Support and Housing Administration and Corporate Finance, with input from Legal Services. This report recommends that authority be granted to the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat to enter into the necessary agreements to provide City financial support for the construction and operation of these new affordable rental homes. The homes will be affordable for a minimum period of 40 years, and in many cases, in perpetuity. This report also outlines updates to the Open Door Program which will be implemented in 2021 to increase the number of affordable rental approvals; enhance support to the non-profit housing development sector; and better align the City's Open Door Program with current Canadian Housing and Mortgage Corporation (CMHC) programs under the National Housing Strategy.
