Affordable Housing

You can apply for affordable housing apartments at below-market rent levels in the City of Cornwall as well as in the Three United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. Housing Services provides safe, affordable homes for seniors, families and adults in our community. These units are not rent-geared-to-income (RGI), which means your rent will not change if your income goes up or down.

Who is eligible

To qualify, you must:

  • Have a total household income below the provincial limit

  • Provide verification of your income

  • Meet any additional requirements set by the housing provider
