Units at Generations Toronto are offered at below-market rates, meaning rent is set lower than typical prices in the city for similar housing. This is different from rent-geared-to-income (RGI) housing, where rent is based on a household’s income and subsidized by the government. Generations Toronto housing units are not based on household income and are not subsidized by the government.

If you are selected from the random draw, you will be sent an electronic application form to fill out, which must be completed within three business days.

If selected through the random draw process, the following documentation is required: 

1. Government-issued photo identification.
2. Proof of status in Canada. You must show you are either a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or a refugee claimant of convention refugee.
3. 2024 Notice of Assessment.
4. Accessibility documentation if applicable.

Make sure to have all these documents ready to submit with your full application. Once the electronic application form is sent, you will have three business days to complete the form and submit it, along with all required documentation.
