Through the Rental Housing Program we help households with low income that cannot obtain suitable and affordable rental housing on the private market.
You may be able to access low-income rental housing if:
Where do you go to find low-income rental housing?
Rental housing is provided directly by Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation (NLHC). Province-wide, the corporation rents housing to families with low income, seniors, non-elderly single people, Aboriginal people, individuals with disabilities and others in need of housing.
NLHC also works with groups that agree to provide housing for households with low income. The NLHC office nearest you can provide you with a list of groups in your area that offer non-profit housing.
Rents paid by tenants in non-profit housing are based on their income. For tenants whose rent is not paid through Income Support, rent will be based on 25 per cent of the total net monthly income. Federal and provincial subsidies make up the difference.
* Note: program is cost-shared between provincial and federal governments.
