Start With The Funding Path

Choose between the construction grants and the separate repayable loan based on the home, ARU type, rent plan and commitment. Ask City CIP staff which current agreement and application package applies before relying on an amount.

Build The Property File

Collect the property address, zoning designation, concept plan, servicing route, grading and tree constraints. The funding opportunity does not override zoning, building-code or permit requirements.

Protect The Timeline

Confirm whether approval must precede work, what permit milestone applies, and whether permit-fee funding remains available. Treat September 7, 2026 as a verification trigger, not a promise that funding is reserved.

Track The Agreement Through Closeout

Keep copies of approvals, permits, invoices, inspections, rental-licence records, legal agreements, rent commitments and lien-discharge requirements for the full term.

FAQ

Common questions, answered plainly

Can I start construction before applying?

Do not assume so. Confirm the current program's approval and work-start rules with City staff before signing construction commitments or starting work.

Does completing this checklist mean I qualify?

No. It organizes a preliminary file; only the City can confirm program and permit eligibility.
