Housing for Healthcare and Skilled Workers Eligibility

Households with at least one renter employed in a skilled or healthcare-related field are eligible to rent homes developed under the Housing for Healthcare and Skilled Workers program. However, healthcare workers will be given priority for these units. Healthcare workers include all roles that support the operation of a healthcare facility, including but not limited to:

• -Doctors
• -Nurses
• -Technicians
• -Administrative support staff
• -Orderlies
• -Continuing care assistants
• -Support Staff

Skilled worker roles include but are not limited to:

• -Construction and trades
• -Manufacturing and production
• -Engineering and technical services
• -Education and social services
• -Contact us to check if your profession is eligible

All our units are rented at market rent; however, you may qualify for a small contribution based on your total household income. If eligible, your rental rate will be based on approximately 30% of your combined household income.

Example 1– If market rent is $2000 a month for a new two-bedroom unit. Tyler earns $50,000 a year and their partner earns $30,000. Rent would be $2000 a month (($50,000 + $30,000) *30%/12 months).

 

Example 2– If market rent is $2000 a month for a new two-bedroom unit. Bill is a single father earning $65,000 a year and he would pay $1625 a month ($65,000*30%/12 months). The contribution towards rent would be $375.00.
