Not currently accepting referrals.

Assistance to individuals and families facing homelessness or at risk.
The Rent Supplement program is currently on hold and not able to accept applications at this time.

The rent supplements are funded by BC Housing and are provided as a flexible, timely option for individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness (or at risk of homelessness) who do not have sufficient funds to either find or maintain appropriate housing. Rent supplements are intended to provide a top-up to rent or provide “bridge” funds that will help house people quickly (or respond prior to an eviction). Every effort will be made to ensure timeliness of response to this process.

There are two types of supplements: One time crisis and monthly rent.

Eligibility Criteria:
  • Homeless (absolute or relative) or at-risk of homelessness
  • Unable to access crisis funding/grants elsewhere (i.e. msd, i.a)
  • Willingness to access support from community agency where appropriate to address any outstanding barriers to finding and maintaining housing
CMHA Kelowna provides a list of community organizations that are also providing rent supplements. For more information on where and how to apply, visit the website.
