**About Housing Accelerator Program**
The Affordable Housing Accelerator Program Fund aims to ensure more people have access to affordable rental housing by preserving and growing the supply of, and access to, community-owned permanent, climate-ready affordable homes for diverse groups of low and moderate-income households, including homes developed by and for Indigenous and equity-denied groups. The program works to build capacity, secure and leverage land, and address financial barriers to accelerate non-profit affordable housing development. We do this by providing grant investments, financing and expertise to housing organizations and other community land-owners to support the conception, planning and development of climate-ready affordable housing acquisition, development and re-development projects.
