Update April 1, 2021
The Government of Alberta has redesigned its Rent Supplement Program to meet the needs of more Albertans, including working families and those most in need.
Starting April 1st, we are accepting applications for the Rent Assistance Benefit . Formerly, the Direct to Tenant Rent Supplement, this long-term benefit will continue to subsidize low income Albertans.
For more information, please visit the government’s website or see the links below.
Eligibility
Eligibility criteria is set by Alberta Government and based on a provincial point-scoring criteria to ensure assistance is provided to those most in need.
To qualify, applicants must be Canadian Citizens, independent landed immigrants, or government sponsored landed immigrants. Assets and belongings cannot exceed $25,000.
The program is open to people who are renting a legal suite (e.g. apartment, duplex, townhouse).
Applying
Applicants must provide verification of their current income and proof of their rent (i.e. lease agreement). You will be placed on a waiting list based on priority of need – those with the greatest need are offered the next available rent supplement.
