We are, unquestionably, among the best housed people in the world. But the cost of housing, for both owners and renters, has increased sharply in recent With this in mind the Ontario Government has developed many programs to ease cost pressures and help make more housing available. Four such programs are: 1. Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP) rants and loans for home improve- ment through local municipalities to low and moderate _income-homeowners. It-is particularly directed to the rehabilitation of sub-standard dwellings, with emphasis on faulty structural and sanitary conditions, Government of Ontario William Davis, Premier Lower cost housing is one of our greatest needs. This is what Ontario is doing to help provide it. and the up-grading of plumbing, heating and electrical systems. 2. Community-Sponsored Housing Program supports the development of reasonably priced housing through non-profit housing corporations operated by groups or munic- ipalities. Grants to these groups--which may include labour unions, churches, wel- fare agencies, educationg) and charitable institutions, and service clubs --cover up to 10% of the value of a. housing project. In return, the group makes available up to 25% of the project units for Ontario Housing Corporation's rent supplement program. 3. OHC'S Assisted Rental Housing for Fam- modation for the elderly on the basis of rents-geared-to-income. Its purpose is to subsidize rental payments for people 60 years of age and older and for low-income families. nershi Plan brings home ownership within the reach of many moderate-income earners. Houses are built on serviced lots which are then leased by Ontario Housing Corporation to new homeowners who have the option of buying the land after five years. This com- bination makes lower-than-normal down payments possible.
