Who we are
The Ontario Non-Profit Housing Association (ONPHA) represents non-profit housing providers who offer affordable rental homes to low- and moderate-income households, including specialized housing and support services. Our members are landlords from Ontario’s largest housing corporations, as well as independent non-profits and supportive housing organizations.
Ontario’s community housing sector plays a vital role in providing safe, affordable homes across the province. Here’s a look at its collective impact:
As leaders in housing affordability, ONPHA brings together a diverse network of individuals, organizations and professionals committed to making a positive impact in the community housing sector.
Together with our members, we aim to build 99,000 new affordable units in 10 years, safeguard existing units, and support our members and partners in creating a sustainable future where every Ontarian has a home. Join us and help grow our collective voice to transform housing for everyone.
