TD Bank Housing for Everyone Competition
The theme for the 17th annual Housing for Everyone competition is preservation of affordable rental housing.
With affordability restrictions expiring and costs increasing, rentals that were once reasonable are becoming out of reach for many. To address this issue, we'll fund a select group of non-profit organizations focused on creating more affordable rental options through property rehabilitation, rental assistance funds or growing their support teams.
