Durham Regional Local Housing Corporation

Recently rebranded as Housing Durham, the Durham Regional Local Housing Corporation (DRLHC) is the largest community housing provider in the Durham Region. It is a municipally owned corporation operated by the Region of Durham that manages approximately 1,300 housing units across 23 sites in municipalities like Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, and Uxbridge. The organization is primarily focused on providing Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) housing, where rent is typically set at 30% of a household’s gross monthly income to ensure affordability for low-income families, seniors, and individuals. In addition to property management, Housing Durham is currently undergoing a strategic modernization effort to revitalize aging properties, such as those on Christine Crescent and Malaga Road, into more energy-efficient, mixed-income communities.
