1. Benefits
The Social Housing Program:
- provides housing to those who do not have the resources to obtain adequate, suitable and affordable shelter;
- sets rent at 30 per cent of the household's income (subject to the minimum and maximum rents);
- provides housing that may be more affordable and suitable than what is available in the community for those with accessibility needs; and
- is available in over 260 communities in Saskatchewan.
2. Eligibility
This program is intended to serve households with low incomes. Priority is given to seniors (55+), families with children or dependants, and individuals with disabilities who are in greatest housing need.
Individuals and families are eligible for the Social Housing Program if they are legally allowed to be in Canada and have gross income and assets below the program limits.
Individuals living in social housing must be able to live independently. This independence may include support from family, the community, or other agencies.
Priority will be given to eligible applicants with the greatest need. Tenants must provide a security deposit.
Seniors who do not meet the eligibility criteria for the Social Housing Program may be eligible for our other housing programs.
