If you’re renting and have been dreaming of owning your own home but don’t have a down payment in the bank, there may be help. The City of Kawartha Lakes is participating in the Homeownership Component of the Investment in Affordable Housing for Ontario – 2014 Extension which was developed to assist low- to moderate-income rental households to purchase affordable homes.
 “The Homeownership program provides up to 10% in down-payment assistance to eligible applicants to a maximum of $26,992.50,” said Hope Lee, Manager of Housing. “We currently have funding in the amount of $100,000 to assist people in the City of Kawartha Lakes and the County of Haliburton move into homeownership.”
