About this service
BVRH administers this program in our Region on behalf of the province.
- 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 1, 2021, we are accepting applications for Rent Assistance Benefit. Formerly, the Direct to Tenant Rent Supplement, this long-term benefit will continue to subsidize low income Albertans.
- This is a Provincial program that provides eligible households with a supplement of up to $600 per month. This money is meant to offset the difference between a households rent and an amount equal to 30% of their gross income. For example a household that earns $1,500 per month but pays $800 per month in rent may receive $350 as a monthly supplement. ($800 30% of $1500 = $350).
- Residents of social housing accommodation are not eligible for this program.
