Req # AF-2021-00113

To Whom It May Concern, Under the Federal-Provincial Bilateral Agreements guiding the implementation of the National Housing Strategy, provinces are required to "report on the use of CMHC Funding and Cost-Matched Funding" (https://eppdscrmssa01.blob.core.windows.net/cmhcprodcontainer/sf/project/nhs/home/cmhc-ontario-bilateral-agreement-en.pdf). In particular, they are required to report on the number of accessible units they have constructed. I am requesting that CMHC provide me with the most recent progress reports provided by each of the provinces to the federal government. I am interested in the number of accessible units that have been constructed (or are in the process of being constructed) compared to the total number of units. If this information has been summarized in an excel sheet, I would also appreciate having access to this as well. Should you require additional information from me, please do not hesitate to ask.

Req # AF-2021-00086

Under ATIP AF-2020-00103, CMHC released some information related to its rental construction financing initiative, including amount, city, date and interest rate. I am seeking a similar, updated, list of projects with additional information related to affordability. The rental construction financing initiative contains requirements related to affordability. One states that at least 20% of units must have rents below 30% of the median total income of all families for the area, and the total residential rental income must be at least 10% below its gross achievable residential income. I am seeking the average affordable rent for each project, percentage of rents that meet affordability criteria for each project and the city of each project.
