Housing Open Data

The Housing Services department is responsible for overseeing the administration and funding of an array of housing programs that assist with the current and future housing needs of the citizens in Nipissing District. Specifically, this includes providing supports to our local non-profit housing providers, private landlords, and affordable housing proponents who operate rent-geared to income (RGI) units, rent supplement programs, and affordable housing. Housing Services also directly administers the Centralized Waiting List services for the Nipissing District; a service known as Housing Access Nipissing.  Through the Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) and Homelessness Prevention Program (HPP), Housing Services is able to fund programs that address local housing and homelessness priorities. 

The work of the Housing Services department ultimately encompasses all levels of the housing continuum.  Work spans from emergency shelters, transitional housing, supportive housing, subsidized housing, seniors housing, market rental housing to entry-level homeownership housing.  Of note, funding is allocated from all three levels of government (federal, provincial and municipal).
