Regional Homebuilding Innovation Initiative (RHII) in the Prairie Provinces - 3. Before you apply

3. Before you apply

Only the projects with the strongest alignment with program objectives and expected results will be selected.  To prepare a strong application it is important that you:

  1. Ensure the eligibility of your organization, and the activities of the proposed project by reviewing the information detailed under “2. Who is eligible”.  If you are still unsure, contact PrairiesCan to discuss your eligibility.
  2. Read the program materials as described on this website to obtain an understanding of what will be expected from you in terms of application requirements and process.
  3. Identify someone from your organization to be a project lead or primary contact that PrairiesCan will engage with as the project is assessed and implemented.
  4. Gather all the mandatory documentation that PrairiesCan is requesting for the Expression of Interest (EOI).  This will ensure that PrairiesCan will have the information necessary to review your EOI.  Should your project advance, further documentation will be required for the full application.

Should you have any questions regarding or during the application process, please contact a PrairiesCan office.

Decisions are made within approximately 90 business days of receiving a complete funding application. Refer to PrairiesCan’s service standards.

Organizations are limited to one RHII project approval per calendar year.

Other funding considerations

Consult your accountant and/or Canada Revenue Agency to determine the full implications of receiving RHII funding (such as taxable income, Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Incentive Program (SR&ED) tax credits).

SR&ED credits or other similar federal or provincial tax credits expected to be received within the project scope/timeline for project activities will be considered as other government assistance. This may require PrairiesCan to reduce its funding to maintain the level of government assistance at 50%. Where possible, exclude SR&ED or other tax credit eligible costs from your application.
