The Ontario Renovates Multi-Residential Rental Unit Program is now open for landlords to access funding to repair and/or modify rental units in Windsor and Essex County.

Landlords of multi-residential units are invited to apply for this time limited funding opportunity, which is provided by the federal and provincial governments. 

Program funding is available in the form of a 15-year forgivable loan.  The amount of money available per rental unit may be up to $50,000, with the average investment estimated at $25,000 per unit.  Landlords making repairs to increase accessibility could receive the first $5,000 supplied in the form of a grant which does not have to be repaid.

According to Jolayne Susko, the City’s Coordinator, Housing Administration and Policy, “This program is an amazing opportunity for landlords to access funding for often times costly repairs and modifications to maintain their rental units, or to improve accessibility features.”

The next phase of upgrades to Jackson Park will include repaving and expanding the main parking lot, from 45 spaces to nearly 100.

The work will begin on July 2 and take until October to complete. Along with the paving, new sanitary, storm and water supply services are also being added.  

The upgrades will mean that access to the main parking lot off Tecumseh Road will be closed, but use of the park by pedestrians will not be affected. The southeast parking lot off McDougall Street will be unaffected by the construction and will remain open throughout.

Along with the parking lot and infrastructure improvements, construction crews are also replacing the washrooms located along the entrance to the Queen Elizabeth II Sunken Gardens.

The construction of the washroom building will be completed by mid August.

To see the entire area being worked on, watch the video, Jackson Park Improvements (YouTube) that we released back in May.
