The Housing Initiatives Fund provides funding for housing developments and programs that increase the number of housing units across Yukon.
The Housing Initiatives Fund provides capital grants for new affordable housing across Yukon. It can be used for new rental housing or new home ownership options.
There are three (3) streams this year:
- Shovel Ready (Whitehorse);
- Shovel Ready (Rural); and
- Project Concepts.
Eligible projects must include a minimum of four affordable units in Whitehorse and one unit in communities.
This year, additional consideration will be given to projects that aim to meet the needs of seniors, tenants earning less than Yukon Housing Corporation’s household income limits, homeless or youth (aged 18-25) and First Nations projects. Projects may include a commercial component; however, any commercial portion of a project is not eligible for funding.
