Housing Assistance

Help may be available for families and seniors who need affordable homes.

Family Housing Program

Is your family having trouble affording your current cost of living? The Family Housing Program may be able to help you.

You will be chosen based on your current situation. This includes your housing conditions, income, cost of housing, family size, health, and any special circumstances.

Apartments are located in Alberton, Charlottetown, Georgetown, Montague, Mt. Stewart, O'Leary, Souris, Summerside and Tignish.

Most families pay 25 per cent of their income for rent.

For more information or to apply download the Family Housing Program brochure.

Seniors Housing Program

Are you a senior who has trouble affording your current cost of living? Many seniors find that their housing needs change over time. You may find your income is less than in earlier years or you may find it more difficult to maintain your home. If this sounds like you, we may be able to help.

You are eligible to apply if you are:

• Aged 60 and older, or
• 55 and older and you have a disability

You will be chosen based on your income, assets, health, age, present housing.

Rent is 25 per cent of your income.

For more information or to apply download the Seniors Housing Program brochure.
