FAQ
What is the difference between market rent and subsidized rent?
Qualifying households pay a reduced monthly rent that is calculated based on 30% of their gross monthly income. Government funds cover the difference between this payment and the full market rent. This is known as subsidy. Non-qualifying households pay the full monthly charge based on cost, which is called market rent.
How do I qualify for subsidy?
Depending on the number of bedrooms required, if your gross household income is below $33,000 (1 bedroom) or $44,000 (3 bedroom) - you may qualify.
How do I apply for subsidy?
The first step is to apply with NB Housing through Social Development by calling 1-833-733-7835 (option 4 for housing). After you have applied with NB Housing you can apply here, to get on our waiting list as well. If preferred, we also have a paper copy of the application available at our office (14 King Square South, Saint John, NB)
I do not qualify for subsidy, but I would still like to rent an apartment. What do I do?
You can either apply here, or by completing a paper application which is available at our office.
