If you’ve been paying attention to the news recently about the Olympic Village then you’ve been hearing about social housing.
Social Housing is also known as subsidized housing [and] encompasses all types of housing whereby the provincial government provides some type of subsidy or rent assistance, including public, non-profit and co-operative housing, as well as rent supplements for people living in private market housing. Non-profits and co-operatives are often called housing providers.
Subsidized housing developments are for people with low to moderate incomes, including:
-
Seniors
-
People with mental or physical disabilities
-
Individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness
-
Women and children fleeing abusive relationships
-
Aboriginal people
-
Low-income families
