  • The Housing Access Centre (HAC) provides information, takes applications, and maintains the waitlist on behalf of the housing providers for social housing in the City of London and Middlesex County for housing such as:

    • Rent-Geared-to-Income Housing

    • Private Non-Profit Housing

    • Federal Non-Profit Housing

    • Co-Operative Housing

    • Rent Supplements/Subsidized Programs

    HAC administers and maintains the centralized waitlist on behalf of the housing providers. The housing providers continue to be fully responsible for their own tenant/member selection.

    Acceptance to housing is need-based, and waiting lists are long. Units are available for families, seniors, the physically and developmentally challenged, low-income earners, sole-support parents, and individuals discharged from psychiatric care.

    Under certain circumstances, you may qualify for Special Priority Status or Urgent Status.
