Rent Assistance
Direct to Tenant Rent Supplement Program (12 Units)
People who qualify for this provincially subsidized program receive a monthly rental subsidy which is to be used to help pay rent. Those who qualify must pay 30% of their income to their monthly rent, and the supplement program pays the balance of the rent that's owing, as long as it doesn't exceed the $400 subsidy maximum.
Please note, tenants are responsible for paying their rent and utilities. You must also provide proof of rent payment each month, and LSLRHA will review household incomes annually to determine continued eligibility.
Private Landlord Rent Supplement (11 Units)
This provincially subsidized program allows tenants to rent from a private landlord at 30% of their income. LSLRHA then pays the landlord the balance.
To apply, you must first find a private landlord who is willing to accept you as a tenant under this rent supplement program.
Please note, LSLRHA reviews household incomes annually to determine continued eligibility.
