Eligible applicants are given priority based on need. Need is determined by a number of factors, including but not limited to income, assets, number of dependents and current housing condition.
NPHF administers the Community Housing Program on behalf of the Province.
How Community Housing helps people.
The Community Housing program subsidizes rental housing for families, seniors and individuals with low income who cannot afford other housing options due to individual circumstances.
A tenant’s rent, which includes heat, water and sewer expenses, is based on 30% of a household total annual income (non-senior household).
Rent does not include electricity, phone, TV, and any additional services such as parking.
