Rent Assistance

Rent assistance for those on low incomes may be available depending on where you live and the programs the government has in place.

Information about the Canada-Alberta Affordable Housing Program can be obtained from Alberta Municipal Affairs. Information is available to assist renters on low incomes at http://www.municipalaffairs.gov.ab.ca/hs_affordable_housing.cfm 

For renters in Edmonton, you might qualify for the Fixed Rate Rental Supplement Pilot Project through Cornerstones: Edmonton's Plan for Affordable Housing.
All interested public and landlord enquiries regarding the Pilot Project should call:

Capital Region Housing Corporation
Phone: (780) 420- 6161 
Website: http://www.crhc.ab.ca/ 

In Calgary, the Rent Bank  is an initiative that provides loans for families and individuals to help secure housing, prevents residential evictions and avoids termination of utilities.
