The City of Toronto’s third annual Request for Proposals (RFP) under the Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition (MURA) Program is now open.
The MURA Program provides City funding and incentives to support the acquisition of private market rental housing by non-profit housing providers, including Indigenous housing providers, co-operatives and community land trusts. The Program enables the purchase of at-risk private market rental housing to secure the homes as permanently affordable non-profit housing.
To advance the City’s commitments to truth, justice, and reconciliation, 20% of MURA funding is dedicated to property acquisitions by Indigenous housing organizations.
