1 A GUIDE TO ADULT HOUSING HOUSEHOLDS WITHOUT DEPENDENTS: SINGLE PERSONS AND CHILDLESS COUPLES AGE 16+ CITY OF LONDON AND COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX

2 Introduction The Guide to Adult Housing is intended as an aid for households without dependents (single persons and childless couples age 16+) looking to live in adult social housing in the City of London and County of Middlesex. The guide provides general project information and shows a photo of each housing project that is designated for Adults only, indicating the age of the building, number of units and specific unit modifications, location, amenities in the neighbourhood, etc. for viewing purposes only. Some adult housing providers accept seniors 60+ or 65+ as shown in the guide. Some also offer housing to households with dependents as well (families). The non-profit housing listed in the guide offer subsidized housing and low end market rent (not subsidized) to adults with low incomes. Rent is subsidized by the City of London, Housing Division and is normally set at 30% of household s gross income from all sources such as employment, pensions, investment interest, etc. In addition, there are long waitlists for subsidized housing. To apply for subsidized housing contact the Housing Access Centre at or hac@london.ca For low end market rent (not subsidized), apply directly to the housing provider listed. Through the Investment in Affordable Housing Program, new homes are being created in the City of London and Middlesex County. These rents are set at or below average market rent in the city of London as determined by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The City has established an income eligibility requirement of five (5) times the monthly rent. *Occupancy standards apply. This affordable housing is not rent-geared-to income and the rent will not be subsidized. Please Note The results produced are for information only and are only accurate to the date collected. We apologize for any incorrect or outdated information and are not liable for any actions or activities as a result of such information. To find the most up-to-date information on how to apply for tenancy in each building, call the contact number shown on each page. If you discover an error on one of our listings please let us know by calling or ing us at housing@london.ca and we will endeavor to correct the information. *Occupancy Standards determine what size of dwelling unit that a rent-geared-to-income household is eligible for (1-bedroom, 2 bedroom, etc.). These can be found on our website Housing Division Notice HDN#: : Local Rule Occupancy Standards.

3 Social Housing Programs There are 64 private non-profit and cooperative housing corporations, governed by Boards of Directors who are responsible for the overall management of the buildings. They housed a mix of people with varying household incomes in their developments. Private Non-Profit Housing (PNP) - There are 27 private non-profit groups with 37 projects with 1,815 units under City of London administration located throughout the City of London and County of Middlesex. They are owned by sponsor organizations such as service clubs, church organizations and ethnic groups and are either self-managed or managed through a property management company. Most of the non-profit units are designated for rent-geared-to-income housing and are required to participate in the centralized waiting list, the rest are low end market rent units (not subsidized). To apply for low end market rent go directly to the non-profit housing provider. Federal Non-Profit Housing (FNP) - There are 20 federal non-profit groups with 27 projects with 1,357 units under City of London administration located throughout the City of London and County of Middlesex. They are owned by sponsor organizations such as churches and service clubs, and are either self-managed or managed through a property management company. Very few are designated for rent-geared-to-income and they are not required to participate in the centralized waiting list, most are low end market rent (not subsidized). To apply for low end market rent go directly to the non-profit housing provider. Provincial Co-operative Housing (PCO) - There are 16 non-profit housing co-operatives with 16 projects with 1,122 units under City of London administration located throughout the City of London and County of Middlesex. They are owned and managed by their occupant members. Each resident becomes a member and has a say in how the co-operative is operated and is expected to help in the day-to-day operations. A Board of Directors is established from members of the co-operative. Most of the Co-operative units are designated for rent-geared-to-income housing and required to participate in the centralized waiting list, the rest are low end market units (not subsidized). To apply for low end market rent go directly to the co-operative. Public Housing (PH) / Rent-Geared-To-Income (RGI) Housing - Public housing units are rent-geared-to-income (RGI) and are governed and managed by the London & Middlesex Housing Corporation (LMHC). There are 3,282 public housing units that are designated for rent-geared-to-income throughout London and County of Middlesex. LMHC participates in the centralized waiting list. RGI assisted housing targets the neediest households. Rent does not exceed 30% of the gross household income. Tenants pay rent based on the combined gross income of all households members. Rent Supplement Program (RS) - The City of London, Housing Division administers and manages 479 rent-geared-to-income units in privately owned buildings, through agreements with landlords under the Rent Supplement Program. Tenants are referred from the Housing Access Centre social housing wait list to the private landlords. Tenants pay their RGI portion of rent to the private landlord and the City of London provides the rent supplement portion to the landlord; which is the difference between the tenant portion of the rent and the landlord market rent. Affordable Housing Program (AHP) The City of London s role under the AHP is working with developers through investment funding to secure a portion of their units as affordable meaning that a number of rental units will be made available to the general public at a low end market rate than the average private market rentals and the remaining units will be that average private market rentals. The AHP units are NOT rent-geared-to-income housing. We do not find tenants for these units; the developers (Landlords) find their own tenants. For a listing see page Page 1
