The Ontario Renovates program is still taking applications for the 2022 season. Please help spread the word that funding remains available. We hope to wrap up the program by the end of September.
The Ontario Renovates program provides financial assistance in the form of a 10-year forgivable loan (of up to $15,000) to make essential home repairs, and/or grant (of up to $5,000) to increase accessibility. For further information on the program or to apply, please refer to our website: London.ca/OntarioRenovates.
If you have any questions please contact by phone at 519-661-CITY(2489) ext. 5523 or by email at housing@london.ca.
