Rural and Native Basic Shelter Rental Program

Easy application

Tax filing not required

The Rural and Native Basic Shelter Rental Program helps off-reserve native and non-native households in need get affordable, adequate and suitable rental housing in rural communities (with a population of less than 2,500 residents).

If you qualify, you can have your rent lowered to 30% of your household income.

Support is given to low-income rental households whose income is below the established "income ceilings" which vary by household size and by areas within the province.
