am I eligible?

 

In order to be eligible for subsidized housing with VNHS, the applicant(s):

  • Total Household Income must be at or below the Housing Income Limits (HILs) set by Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation (CMHC)
  • Must be 19 years or older to be eligible for subsidized housing

Housing Income Limits represent the income required to pay the average market rent for an appropriate sized unit in the private market.  Average rents are derived from CMHC’s annual Rental Market Survey, done in the Fall and released in the Spring.  The size of a unit required by a household is governed by Federal/Provincial Occupancy Standards.
