RENT ASSIST (formerly Rent Aid)
Rent Assist provides direct monthly cash to renters 55+ who are living in privately owned buildings and who meet certain qualifications. The monthly allowance is based on total gross income and on the monthly rent paid. An application must be completed by the tenant. People living in publicly owned seniors housing, rent supplement housing or personal care homes are already benefitting from government subsidies and are not eligible for Rent Assist.
