One-time top-up to the Canada Housing Benefit Program

 FYI...

Dear Residents,

Durand Village Team would like to share with you some good news.

The Government has a new program that some renters may be eligible for. Below is a description of the One-time top-up to the Canada Housing Benefit Program from their website:

LINK: One-time top-up to the Canada Housing Benefit - Canada.ca

The one-time top-up to the Canada Housing Benefit aims to help low-income renters with the cost of renting. You may be eligible for a tax-free one-time payment of $500 if your income and the amount that you pay on rent qualify.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) administers this one-time payment. To apply for this new federal one-time payment, you do not need to receive other housing benefits such as the Canada Housing Benefit, which is co-funded and delivered by the provinces and territories. Applications are open until Friday, March 31, 2023.

Please be sure to check the eligibility requirements to see if you qualify for this One-time top-up to the Canada Housing Benefit Program. Management office will be happy to assist you with rent receipt or confirmation of tenancy with rent paid information during business hours.   

Thank you.
