FAQs

Qualifying households pay a reduced monthly rent that is calculated based on 30% of their gross monthly income. Government funds cover the difference between this payment and the full market rent. This is known as subsidy. Non-qualifying households pay the full monthly charge based on cost, which is called market rent.

Depending on the number of bedrooms required, if your gross household income is below $33,000 (1 bedroom) or $44,000 (3 bedroom) - you may qualify.
