Tuesday, January 28, 2025 (Muskoka, ON) – The District of Muskoka is making historic investments in affordable housing. Through the 2025-2026 budget, Muskoka District Council has committed increases of $1 million annually over the next two years to expand existing housing and homelessness initiatives.
Through the Muskoka Affordable Housing Initiatives Program (MAHIP), two funding opportunities are now available for eligible builders, developers, and homeowners to help boost the supply of affordable housing across the district.
“Through MAHIP, the District can support builders small and large with getting more affordable housing built. We’ve seen a huge increase in the interest in this program and are delighted to be able to offer more grants this year, through the Big Move on Housing.” - Jeff Lehman, District Chair
