Markham Inter-Church Committee for Affordable Housing

Markham Inter-Church Committee for Affordable Housing builds and operates affordable rental housing for low-income families and individuals across York Region and the GTA. The organization combines financial support from multiple faith communities with practical expertise to develop residential properties that remain permanently affordable. By owning and managing these units directly, the committee ensures that residents pay rents tied to their income rather than market rates, providing stability for vulnerable households facing housing insecurity. The group works with local governments, builders, and community partners to identify suitable land and secure funding for new projects while maintaining existing buildings for current tenants.
