My mother is on disability and separated with her husband of 30 years, she has moved in with us, but the basement isn’t finished, we did make a bedroom for her but we wanted to make a livingroom & bathroom with a shower downstairs, maybe a small frige she can’t cook for herself right now she been in physio for 1 year +.My mother was in a very bad car accident & it would be nice for her to have some privacy & bathroom & shower so she doesn’t have to keep going up & down the stairs & she wouldn’t have to wait if the bathroom is in use. We only have 1 and sometimes she can’t wait.Would we qualify for a grant or assistance on a forgivable loan? Thank you for your time Peggy

My mother has been living with me for the past 5/6 years. We have a basment in which I was wondering if I would qualify for the renovation grant. My mother receives pensions and is also somewhat disabled. Could you please give me some insight?

Hi,

My friends home in Ontario burnt down last week. Leaving him and his family with nothing.

I was wondering if you might be able to help me find an organization or grant that would be able to help them rebuild their home.

Thank you for your time

To Whom It May Concern;

Upon reading the application form required to apply for your “Residential Rehabillitation Assistance Program for Secondary/ Garden Suites”, I saw that the amount given is twenty-four thousand dollars in the form of an “Unforgivable Loan”. In another area of a form it is written that if you live in a Northern Ontario area, that you can possibly receive more, and If you live in a more remote Northern Ontario area, that you may receive more funding. Can you reilerate a little bit more on this, and let both myself and my husband know in what areas you are referring to.

We live in Sault Ste.Marie, Ontario, and would like to know if that is considered a “Northern Area” location . We did not know of this type of” Unforgivable Loan”.

We have been in the thinking stage of possibly, renovating part of our basement into an little apartment for my husbands mother who will be 83 as of October 5th. of this year. It would a great help if we could receive some asssistance towards this.

We now have a 3 piece bathroom, and laundry room in the basement, the bathroom would have to have hand grips put in the shower stall for her, and possibly a new configuration figured out, where to put the new entrance door to the bathroom, to do the other renovations needed. Would the grant cover this expense?

Does this grant cover just the essential things that are needed, like a bedroom. bathroom, kitchen or kitchenette, flooring, closet etc., or can a gas fireplace be included in this renovation grant, as my mother-in-law has mentioned at times, this is something that would be nice or would this come out of our own funds?

We would like to know, what would be our first step toward this project, applying first to see if we are eligible, or finding out what the costs of the renovation project would be, including taxes and work permits etc.

Yours truly
