Housing & Repairs

The provincial government offers a number of programs to help lower income households maintain, acquire or rent safe, adequate and affordable housing. We also have grants and loans for home repairs and additions, as well as mortgage funds to purchase or build modest houses.

Our programs will be of interest to low-income households, seniors and persons with disabilities.
