Homeless and Eviction Prevention Fund

 

Effective April 1, 2009, the rent shortfall component of the Homeless and Eviction Prevention Fund was transitioned to a housing program called the Direct to Tenant Rent Supplement Program under the department of Housing and Urban Affairs (HUA).  This program is managed on behalf of HUA by local Housing Management Bodies located throughout the province. Clients affected by this transition have been notified.

If you are in danger of being evicted from your present residence, or you cannot pay a damage deposit, contact Employment and Immigration or Seniors and Community Supports to apply for emergency eviction and damage deposit benefits.
