In Saskatchewan, the Social Housing Program for low-income independent adults, seniors, families, and disabled individuals is administered through local Housing Authorities and subsidizes rent for those in financial need that meet the necessary criteria. Rent is based on income (30% of household income) and acceptance to the program is based on several criteria including need, current housing conditions, current costs, and other factors. For information on the program visit www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/housing-and-renting/renting-and-leasing/rental-housing-for-people-with-low-incomes#eligibility, contact your local Housing Authority or call 1 (800) 667-7567.
