Overview
Housing NB has agreements with private landlords for several subsidized housing units. This program funds the difference between the rent that a household pays, and the unit's market value rent. The unit is subsidized, otherwise, it is a normal landlord-tenant relationship.
Subsidized rental accommodations are provided to those whose income is below the established income ceilings. Tenants who qualify through the program will have their rents reduced to 30% of the adjusted household income.
Eligibility
| Household | Urban income ceiling (residing in one of the eight major cities) | Rural income ceiling (residing outside city limits) |
| Single person or couple, requiring one bedroom | $45,000 | $50,500 |
| Single person or couple living with another person, requiring 2 bedrooms | $57,500 | $59,500 |
| Single person or couple living with more than 1 other person, requiring 3 bedrooms | $63,000 | $67,500 |
