questions and answers about the Rapid Housing Initiative. What is the Rapid Housing Initiative? In
2021, the City received $7.75 million under round two of the federal government’s Rapid Housing
Initiative (RHI) Cities Stream to deliver a minimum of 29 new affordable housing units within 12
months. Once constructed, the units must be maintained as affordable for a minimum of 20 years.
While the City is able to work with a non-profit intermediary, the City remains signatory to all
agreements with CMHC for the 20-year term. When will the project be completed? While originally
slated for completion in December 2022, construction was delayed due to manufacturing and supply
chain issues. The building is now anticipated to be ready for occupancy in mid-2023. The delay will
not impact the funding and CMHC is committed to working with the City to address challenges and
support the delivery of the project. What is the City’s Role? The City is best positioned to
maintain its current role of supporting the creation of affordable housing units in partnership
with local non-profit organizations. Regina is home to many experienced non-profit organizations
that have well-established relationships with the communities they serve and who understand local
housing needs. The City’s role in this project includes: Facilitating the provision of investment
to our selected non-profit organization Supporting them to build and operate the housing Ensuring
the project complies with development requirements (land use, zoning, building code) similar to all
development projects within the City Information sharing with the public On-going monitoring and
reporting to CMHC over the 20-year agreement timeline What type of housing will this project be?
This RHI project is considered transitional or supportive housing. This is longer-term housing that
is distinct and different from emergency shelters, drop-ins and other forms of temporary
accommodations. The building itself will hold 29 apartments as well as office and communal space to
provide support services to residents. Purpose built supportive housing provides safety, stability,
and dignity to residents and allows them to improve their lives and integrate within the community.
This may include reuniting with children or other family members, attending school or other
training and obtaining employment. ...
