Disability support

If you have a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, there are two different types of Autism Funding available: Preschool autism funding and School-age autism funding.

Are you a senior or an older adult with a disability who has trouble affording your current cost of living? The Seniors Housing Program provides quality rental housing or rent supplements for seniors who need help with their costs of living. You can expect to pay 25 percent of your income for rent.

The Seniors Safe @ Home Program can give you between $2,000 and $10,000 to make your home more accessible and safe so that you can keep living there.

The Canada Student Loan Program offers a grant to eligible students with Permanent Disabilities for services and equipment of up to $8,000 per loan year.

The Canada Caregiver Credit (CCC) is a non-refundable tax credit that can help you if you support a spouse, common-law partner, or a dependent with a physical or mental impairment.

If you are receiving the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), this bond is money the Government to contributes to your savings plan if you are living on low-modest income.

If you are receiving the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), this grant is the amount that the Government pays into your savings plan.

If you are a dependent child under 25 and your parent is living with a disability or they die, you may be able to get a monthly payment from this benefit if your parent was getting Canada Pension Plan benefits. If you live in Quebec, you should refer to the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) instead, and contact Retraite Québec if you have any questions.

This grant helps students with disabilities pay for each year of school.

This supplement is a refundable tax credit which is the second part of the Canada Workers Benefit (CWB).

This benefit provides a monthly, tax-free benefit for families who care for a child under age 18 with a severe and prolonged physical or mental disability.

The Multigenerational Home Renovation Tax Credit is a new refundable tax credit for the costs of certain renovation expenses to an eligible dwelling to establish a secondary unit. The secondary unit must allow a senior or an adult who is eligible for the disability tax credit to live with a qualifying relative. This amount may be claimed on your tax return (starting from the 2023 tax return).

If you have a disability and are having difficulty paying your student loan, you may be eligible for the Repayment Assistance Plan for Borrowers with Disabilities (RAP-D).
