Niagara Regional Secondary Suite program

The Niagara Renovates Program is a program that funds the creation of Secondary Suites in single family homes.

Secondary suite units must have modest floor space and amenities.

A Secondary Suite is defined as a self-contained, separate unit with sleeping, full kitchen and bath facilities

and a separate entrance. The new unit must meet

applicable zoning, building, fire and property standards.

Funding for Secondary Suites of up to $25,000 is a fully

forgivable loan which is written off at an equal amount

over a 15 year period, provided the Owner complies with the conditions of the Letter of Agreement.

The loan amount includes a grant portion for accessibility

modifications, if required, of up to $5,000 that does not need to be repaid.
