Why is 115 Kneller Road no longer subsidized? This is because that complex is now mortgage free and therefore the government subsidies will cease, as per our Operating Agreement. As such, as our current subsidized tenants move out, new tenants will then pay the affordable market rent (currently set at $2200 per month); and not the 30% as in our other units. These units will be offered to Indigenous people first and it is not a requirement to have children under the age of 19 living with you. For example, as families age out in our subsidized units, a family may consider renting one of the market units all together as adults.
