Get to Know Us

A Board of Directors, consisting of ten volunteers from the community, and a General Manager are responsible for oversight of the corporation and management of the apartment building and grounds. 

  • Our building and grounds are maintained by our maintenance & grounds worker, and our custodian keeps our common areas sparkling. A tenant also provides assistance to the manager if there is a tenant or building emergency or need for contractor access outside of office hours.

  • In 2023, the monthly market rate of single bedroom units is $626, and two-bedroom units is $704. The tenant pays for their electricity costs through Ottawa Power, which also powers electric baseboard heat in their units. Optional costs to tenants are telephone, cable or satellite, and optional parking stall ($15/monthly).

  • Seniors. Preference given to ages 65 and older, following a cascading age policy.

Applications to Live Here

To apply to rent, submit application form(s) to our office in person, by mail or email. We receive applications for both the Renfrew County Community Housing program (Rent-Geared to Income subsidy program) which we forward to Renfrew County who manages the RGI program and waitlist.

We also receive separate applications for our market rate units for our management of that waitlist.  Both application streams include requirements for applicant contact information, household information, current & previous landlord information, income information, background check and declaration.

Vacancy rate and rent ratios determine movement of waiting lists. Waitlist prioritization and movement is mainly by date of application and/or eligibility with additional screening for high priority/vulnerable persons (screening and prioritization by Renfrew County for RGI program) and age restrictions (seniors 65+ in most cases).
