Who qualifies for Subsidized Housing

Subsidized housing is long-term housing for people who permanently reside in British Columbia. Rental fees are calculated on rent geared to 30% of income basis.

Who qualifies for Market Rent Housing

Market Rent Housing is for people who have a moderate income and are looking for an affordable long-term tenancy.

Market rent units are also known as affordable housing, below-market, or lower-end of market housing. The rents are equal to, or slightly lower than, average private rentals and are fixed rate, not based on amount of income or income source.
