Canada Rental Protection Fund - Call for Applications: Applicant Guide - Winter 2025 Canada Rental Protection Fund Call for Applications: Applicant Guide Canada Rental Protection Fund Capital attraction and management Submitting an application Application deadline and questions Assessment of applications Annex B: Application outline Annex C: Parameters for CRPF funding Annex E: Privacy and third party information notice statement Annex F: Attestation form Annex G – Integrity declaration form Annex H – Frequently asked questions This Guide will help you prepare a complete application in response to the Call for Applications to identify one or more Project(s) to implement the objectives of the Canada Rental Protection Fund ( CRPF ).
It outlines the CRPF objectives, the required information for your applications, and how applications will be assessed. Note: This Call for Applications is not for the selection of individual housing acquisitions. Once the Successful Applicant(s) is selected, they will announce how they plan to support housing acquisitions based on their proposed Project(s).
Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada (HICC), in collaboration with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ( CMHC ), is launching this Call for Applications to select one or more Community Housing sector-led Project(s) to advance the CRPF objectives.
The Successful Applicant(s) will use the CRPF Funding to attract and deploy investments from the private sector and other orders of government, and create a revolving source of funds to help the Community Housing sector acquire existing multi-unit rental buildings.
Providing the CRPF Funding to selected Project(s) will support the long-term vitality of the Community Housing sector by giving it more autonomy in accessing capital and ownership over its growth. This selection process is the first step in implementing the CRPF . Once a Project(s) is selected, CMHC will negotiate a funding arrangement with the Successful Applicant(s).
Once such funding arrangement has been secured, the Successful Applicant(s) will then develop and launch their proposed Project as per the negotiated funding arrangement(s). The application intake period will end at 4pm ET on May 29, 2025 . Canada Rental Protection Fund Canada's Housing Plan and Budget 2024 committed to launch the new CRPF , providing $1.
47 billion to create a new source of capital to help the Community Housing sector acquire housing units and preserve rents at a stable level for the long-term. Budget 2024 indicated that the CRPF would help mobilize funding and financing from the charitable sector, private sector, and other orders of government.
The CRPF is to fund Project(s) that achieve the following objectives: Increase the Community Housing stock through acquisitions; Create a vehicle to leverage investments and enable a revolving source of funding for the Community Housing sector; and Grow equity in order to support long-term growth of the Community Housing sector.
To achieve the above objectives, CMHC will provide $470 million in non-repayable contributions and $1 billion in low-interest loans over five years, starting in 2025-26. Parameters around the use of the CRPF Funding and funding profile are provided in Annex C . In no event will the Successful Applicant(s) be acting as an agent of Canada in receiving or further redistributing CRPF Funding.
The CRPF program is subject to approvals, and the allocation of funds by Parliament. Loan security parameters will be confirmed following the Call for Applications. Accordingly, applications must specify their preferred option for either secured (e.g., by real estate) or unsecured loans from CMHC .
They must also describe how the Project would need to be adjusted to work with the alternative security option (refer to Question 30 in Annex B ). As part of the negotiation process, the Successful Applicant(s) may be requested to adjust commitments in the agreement to meet funding requirements.
Applicants have flexibility when designing their Project and its governance, but must align them with the elements below, and carry on their Project for at least 10 years. Projects may be implemented by one or more organizations working as a group, including as part of a business structure such as partnerships, joint ventures, or consortia.
Applicants must be aware of and comply with any and all federal, provincial and/or municipal legislation, regulations or oversight requirements that will or could be triggered by their planned Project and related activities (e.g., related to lending/ loans, securities legislation).
The Successful Applicant(s) must obtain, prior to the commencement of the Project, and maintain for the duration of the funding arrangement, all permits, licenses, consents, and other authorizations that are necessary to carry out their Project. Capital attraction and management Projects must include a strategy to attract additional funding (i.e., non- CRPF Funding) and manage all funding sources (including CRPF Funding).
This strategy must comply with the following requirements: Sources and types: In addition to the CRPF Funding, projects must have plans to attract other sources of funding, such as from the private sector, the charitable sector, and from other orders of government. This additional funding could be in the form of loans, contributions, and/or grants. Use of capital : Sourced funding must primarily be used to support acquisitions.
However, Projects can propose other uses if it leads to greater results, in particular more acquisitions. Leverage ratio: While there are no minimum requirements on the ratio of additional funding from other sources relative to CRPF Funding, applicants must take into account its costs, terms, and impact on the financial viability of acquisition transactions.
Revolving funds: Projects must recycle and redeploy funding beyond the initial five years of program funding (2025-26 – 2029-30) to support further acquisitions. This means proposed Projects may use the CRPF contributions (in addition to other sources funding) as repayable funding in support of acquisitions, which can then be used towards further acquisitions once repaid.
Recognizing the diversity of local markets and needs of Community Housing Providers, CRPF contributions may also be used as non-repayable funding, as necessary, to allow for the viability of certain transactions, in line with CRPF objectives.
Example of activities designed to support capital attraction and management include: Managing all sources of funding, including pooling of funding, disbursement, and repayments Sourcing other funding (i.e., non- CRPF Funding) Conducting due diligence and entering into agreements with private investors Forecasting funding demand and supply Related financial management activities Projects must support acquisitions by the Community Housing sector and comply with the following requirements: Permitted ultimate recipients : Acquisitions must benefit Community Housing Providers, municipal, provincial, and territorial governments, and/or Indigenous Governing Bodies and Organizations.
Permitted Ultimate Recipients must be selected through a clear, fair, open, and transparent process. Permitted acquisitions: Acquisitions of existing, privately-owned, multi-unit residential buildings not currently owned by the Community Housing sector are permitted. New constructions are not permitted.
Applicants may limit Permitted Acquisitions to properties that are financially viable without the support of ongoing operating agreements or subsidies. Acquisition costs may include repairs. Social and environmental outcomes: Units must be attainable to middle and lower-income people living in Canada, and applicants should consider approaches to preserving affordability of rents.
Applicants are encouraged to propose a plan to maintain and improve accessibility and energy efficiency in acquired buildings.
Examples of activities designed to support acquisitions include: Providing support for Permitted Ultimate Recipients with application development and submission for acquisitions Receiving and evaluating applications, including for pre-approvals and underwriting of acquisitions Attracting potential building sellers Creating tailored capital stacks with various funding sources to cover acquisition costs and repairs Underwriting projects or portfolios of projects with due regard for potential losses Contracting and advancing funds for the purchase and repair of acquired buildings Monitoring funding and loan agreements, and ensuring repayment of loans, including servicing and default management Monitoring and reporting on results Undertaking acquisitions for future transfer of the properties to Permitted Ultimate Recipients Negotiating and signing agreements with Permitted Ultimate Recipients for the unsubsidized operations of acquired buildings Negotiating and signing real estate purchase agreements with Permitted Ultimate Recipients to transfer acquired buildings Supporting with the development of building-level affordability preservation plans Creating partnerships with other levels of government and Indigenous Governing Bodies and Organizations CRPF contributions may be used for costs incurred by the Successful Applicant(s) and considered to be direct and necessary for the implementation of their Project.
A list of eligible and ineligible costs will be included in the funding arrangement between the Successful Applicant(s) and CMHC .
Examples of ineligible costs under the CRPF include, but are not limited to: Costs incurred before execution of the funding agreement Costs to build, acquire or expand physical assets for office and commercial space Cost related to CMHC -insured mortgage loan applications The portion of provincial sales tax, goods and services tax, and harmonized sales tax for which the Successful Applicant(s) is eligible for an input tax credit, or a rebate, and any other costs eligible for rebates or refunds Some operating costs for the Successful Applicant(s) may be considered eligible.
However, applicants must propose strategies to cover or significantly offset those operating costs to the extent possible to maximize the availability of the contribution funding for its principal intended purpose of supporting acquisitions. The Successful Applicant(s) will be required to report on results achieved towards CRPF objectives and the performance management plan included in their application.
Examples of performance metrics could include: Increase in rents of acquired units over time Ratio of additional funding raised to CRPF Funding Dollar amount of contribution funding recycled and redeployed Reporting on arrears and defaults, as applicable Reporting will also include other requirements related to the characteristics of Permitted Ultimate Recipients, acquired buildings, and repair activities where applicable, as well as annual progress update reports and any adjustments to annual business plans.

Read articleThe May 29 OMB rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 quietly rebuilds the pass-through entity compliance architecture. Proposed §200.332 strengthens subrecipient risk assessment, monitoring documentation, and remediation triggers. A new requirement mandates that every subaward be reported to SAM.gov with the reported records confirmed in performance reports — converting subaward administration from a back-office accounting function into a public-record certification regime. For the universities, state agencies, and national nonprofits that pass through more than half of their federal awards as subawards, the operational implication is a new compliance operating model that needs to be standing up by the October 1 effective date.
Read articleThe 400-page rewrite of 2 CFR 200 published May 29 contains specific provisions — political pre-issuance review, peer-review demotion, fixed-amount award elimination — that have drawn most of the analytical attention. The deeper structural change is a philosophical pivot from a framework where federal agencies supported recipients to "correct course and accomplish intended grant objectives" to one organized around "penalties for noncompliance." The pivot reframes the recipient relationship from partner to defendant, and it requires grantee compliance departments to rebuild documentation, internal-controls, and audit-response infrastructure that most have allowed to atrophy over the past decade.
