Brantford City Council approved a staff recommendation to support the development of 18 new affordable housing units by Brantford Native Housing during their regular meeting on Tuesday, June 24, 2025.
As a result, the City will enter into a ten-year funding agreement with Brantford Native Housing that will provide a municipal contribution of $62,500 per unit, totaling $1,125,000, to be paid over a decade following construction completion.
The development will be the second affordable housing project to receive municipal funding under a new pilot model established through a previous agreement with Jaycees Non-Profit Housing Corporation, which supported the creation of 24 units at 32 Bridge Street.
“This project reflects our continued efforts to find innovative, community-driven solutions to address housing affordability in our community,” said Kevin Davis, Mayor for the City of Brantford. “This kind of municipal support gives our non-profit partners the stability they need to secure additional funding and deliver much-needed housing quickly.”
Brantford Native Housing’s project is consistent with the goals of the Brantford-Brant Municipal Housing Master Plan, which sets a target of 843 new affordable units by 2030, including 337 to be delivered by non-profit organizations.
