RGI subsidy is financial assistance provided to eligible households under legislated eligibility requirements to reduce the amount the household must pay to occupy a unit in a housing project.<\/p>\n

RGI assistance is 30% of a household\u2019s monthly Adjusted Family Net Income (AFNI). The AFNI is determined annually using each household member\u2019s Notice of Assessment (NOA). If the household is receiving assistance from Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program your rent is calculated according to the social assistance rent scale. Additional charges may apply such as such as utilities, parking, laundry, etc.<\/p>\n
