Social Housing Registry

The Social Housing Registry manages the centralized waiting list  for all rent-geared-to-income units in the public housing portfolio, rent supplement units, and most rent-geared-to-income units administered by the co-operative and non-profit housing providers, and the affordable housing units. Visit the Directory of Social Housing in Leeds Grenville to view rent-geared-to-income units for adults, families, and seniors. 

To see the types of social housing available in the community of your choice, follow the links to:  Athens, Brockville, Cardinal, Delta, Elgin, Gananoque, Lansdowne, Kemptville, Mallorytown, Merrickville, Portland, Prescott, Oxford Mills, Spencerville, and Westport .  Not all communities have family units, and some communities may only have senior or adult units. Visit the Social Housing by Community in Leeds Grenville page for a list of properties by location.

To apply for rent-geared-to-income (subsidized) housing or affordable housing in Leeds Grenville, an Application for Subsidized Housing  must be completed and submitted to the Social Housing Registry to determine eligibility.   The application is available for printing in the Social Housing Forms section. Verification of citizenship (i.e. birth certificate, citizenship certificate) and the most recent Notice of Assessment must be submitted with the application.  To request a copy of your Notice of Assessment contact the Canada Revenue Agency at 1-800-959-8281.

To determine the size of unit you may be eligible for, refer to local Occupancy Standards. 

Applicants who are/have been victims of abuse may apply for the Special Priority Household Category by submitting the Request for Special Priority Household Category with their application.  Applicants who require a modified (accessible) unit or require an additional bedroom for medical reasons must submit a Verification of Disability or Medical Condition with their application.  Modified units will be offered to applicant households requiring the modification first. 

Eligible applicants will be ranked on the centralized waiting list for their preferred locations based on the date the application is complete.   Offers of accommodation are made by telephone, so it is very important to inform the Registry of any changes to the information provided in the application.  To update your application, complete the Verification of Income and Assets and submit it to the Social Housing Registry.   All applicants will be required to update their application at least once annually near the anniversary date of their application.
