Ontario expanding its Capital Funding Program with a new Renovation Program

June 16, 2026

The Ontario Ministry of Long-Term Care is expanding its Capital Funding Program with a new Renovation Program designed to help upgrade long-term care homes through major renovations and repairs. The program will provide operators with funding to extend the life of older long-term care homes, allowing them to upgrade to modern design standards.

Quote from CEO Donna Duncan:

“OLTCA is grateful for the launch of this renovation program. For homes that cannot undergo full redevelopment, this is the kind of program we need.

The reality is simple: with nearly 50,000 people waiting for long-term care spaces, every option to preserve and expand capacity in communities across Ontario matters.

This program recognizes that seniors deserve choices in their own communities, and it gives operators a realistic path to deliver them. We thank the Ontario government for their leadership and commitment to advancing long-term care.”

Ahead of this announcement, OLTCA members set out our priorities for Budget 2026 to protect Ontario by protecting long-term care.
