Jaycees Brantford Non-Profit Homes Corp. (JC Homes) is a housing provider with a specific focus on providing affordable housing to families. Since 1985, Jaycee Homes has been a key provider of safe affordable housing in the City of Brantford. Today JC Homes has a total of 83 scattered properties in the City.

JC Homes initial plan had the following objectives in mind:

• To serve the community by offering a low affordable rent to families
• To give families the opportunity to save for their own house while learning the role of taking
  care of a house
• To provide the opportunity for mixed incomes in a community which would reduce the stigma
  of social housing
• To increase membership and give the opportunity for mentorship, growth and development in
  many aspects of housing
• To drive the housing market at a time when interest rates were very high

A number of these homes receive assistance from federal rent supplement programs. In 2020, a third of their stock reached the end of their mortgages. A further third was due to have their mortgages mature in June of 2021. The final third had their mortgages mature in 2023. This offers JC Homes leverage in accessing capital funds for a new development through refinancing or at the very least, through operational savings from monthly mortgage payments.

In 1997, JC Homes was awarded the tender for Property Management Services for Saint Basil (Brantford) Community Homes Inc. A conversion from a boys and girls school in to 32 distinct apartments increased the capacity to offer affordable housing to the City of Brantford.

JC Homes is run by a small staff of 3 and a dedicated Board of Directors. As a result of a history of prudent financial management, Jaycee Homes is in a position whereby it can expand its portfolio and offer more affordable housing in the City of Brantford.
