Subsidized Independent Senior Housing in BC

Subsidized Independent Senior Housing in BC

 

In BC, subsidized housing (rent geared to income) for those with a limited income is available through BC Housing.  An application is required and there are waiting lists for these units. Those structures that are members of The Housing Registry (not-for-profits or housing co-operatives) can be applied for through their application process; those that are not listed with the Registry require separate applications. Visit the BC Housing Registry at www.bchousing.org/housing-assistance/rental-housing/subsidized-housing to determine if you are eligible, find housing, and apply for it. Additionally, you may wish to contact the Seniors Services Society which can provide information on all types of housing and services for seniors in BC. They can be reached at www.seniorsservicessociety.ca or (604) 520-6621.
