HOTT began its journey by offering shared housing for individuals back in 1987.

​

Currently, HOTT operates 14 properties as affordable housing. 11 of these properties operate under the Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) model and 3 of these properties operate as Average-Market-Rent (AMR).

 

These models allow HOTT to offer various affordability options for our residents.

 

In 1987, HOTT began its journey by offering shared housing for individuals. This model involves residents living cooperatively and sharing common areas. Each tenant’s unit is their own private bedroom in the shared house. Today, HOTT maintains three of our properties as houses for shared living.

​

As HOTT grew, we increased our number of properties. We now have three detached and semi-detached houses that have been divided into separate units. These tenants enjoy living in their private spaces with the benefit of having close relationships with their immediate neighbours.

 

HOTT also operates a single family home that is a standalone 3-bedroom property.
 

Additionally, HOTT operates four small apartment complexes. These buildings offer a sense of community and facilitate neighbourly relationships between our tenants as well as with other members of the neighbourhood.

 

Our final type of property is multi-residential apartment buildings. HOTT has three large apartment buildings with multiple stories. These tenants enjoy connecting with their neighbours within their floors and throughout the building. These buildings create a small community for our tenants and create a connection between all the residents.

 

HOTT built two of our fourteen properties, one large apartment building and one small apartment building. Two of our properties were renovated from shared housing into self contained units after receiving input from our tenants regarding their living preferences. The rest of the properties were bought from the private sector and maintained as affordable housing by HOTT.
