Frequently Asked Questions - Housing
 
I have financial difficulties because of a small income.  Are there programs available that might help with my rent?
 
Yes, you can apply for housing assistance at your local Social Development office.  If you are eligible for help, your name will be placed on a waiting list for a subsidized housing unit owned by the government, a non-profit housing group or a private landlord.  If you receive a unit, you will pay approximately 30% of your income for rent.
