On the agenda
As the city filed it
The Open Door Affordable Rental Housing ("Open Door") program is a key program under the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan ("HousingTO Plan") and offers capital grants and financial incentives to encourage non-profit and private sector housing developers to create new affordable rental housing for low-and-moderate-income households. These new homes are critical to help the City meet its target of approving 40,000 affordable rental homes (including 18,000 supportive homes), by 2030.

On November 24, 2021, the Housing Secretariat launched the annual Open Door Affordable Rental Housing Call for Applications process. The Call for Applications closed on February 3, 2022. To support the City of Toronto's commitments to Indigenous Peoples, 20% of the funding allocated under the 2021 Call was dedicated to projects led by Indigenous housing organizations for Indigenous residents. This report outlines the results of the 2021 Open Door Call for Applications and recommends City Council approval of 17 projects, representing a total of 919 affordable rental homes, for capital funding and/or Open Door financial incentives. Thirteen of the recommended affordable rental housing projects will be developed by non-profit housing providers, and of these, two will be Indigenous-led, and three will create new supportive housing. The report recommends that the City invests a total of $10,049,900 in capital funding, and $64,979,296 in Open Door incentives in the form of waived development charges, building permits, parkland levies, and property taxes to support the 17 projects. Approximately 29% of the capital funding proposed will be dedicated to supporting the two Indigenous projects, exceeding the City's commitment to Indigenous Peoples. In addition, six non-profit applications, representing a total of 483 homes, are recommended for pre-development funding of $50,000 each, to advance these projects that are in the early stages of development and create a pipeline of future affordable homes. All homes to be created through this program will remain affordable for a minimum of 40 years, and in many cases, in perpetuity. Further, this report recommends City incentives for 25 additional affordable rental homes to be created at 155-65 Elm Ridge Drive by Reena, a non-profit organization that provides housing with a range of supports for people with disabilities. The project was initially approved for incentives in 2021 through Item PH21.4 to support 81 affordable rental homes, and with the additional 25 homes, a total of 106 affordable rental homes will be created. Additionally, the report recommends that $3,600,000 in Ward 10 Section 37 funds be committed to the affordable housing component of the redevelopment of the Palace Arms Hotel at 938-950 King Street West, as previously directed by Council through Item TE23.12 , and the approval of an additional 10 years for the property tax exemption (for a total 50 year affordability period). City Council's approval of the recommendations in this report will support the creation of a range of new affordable rental homes, for a range of people and incomes, all across the city. These much-needed homes will help address the needs of current and future residents, plus create more mixed-income, inclusive and livable communities where people have the opportunity to thrive.
